Copy of Frank J Mitchell & Pearl Irene Williams Marriage lic

This image is taken from sources under Frank James Mitchell at www.FamilySearch.org

Notice the letter of permission written by Frank's parents for him to marry. He was 19. Pearl Irene was 18 and didn't need parental permission. Why was this? Perhaps because Frank as the head of the family would have been expected to provide for his new family so if he could not, then his parents would be responsible.
