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.

Marriage License, L.B. Mitchell & Claud Hope

Below is a copy of the marriage license for Lannis Beron Mitchell and Jesse Claud Hope. Lannis is the son of James Stanley Mitchell, born in 1883.

This marriage license is dated 27 of August 1909. Notice that Lannis has signed his name as L.B. Mitchell. It seems that he was known mostly as LB rather than Lannis. Jesse Claude uses her middle name and note that it is spelled 'Claud' not the traditional spelling of Claude.
