    2. [S1554] Doddridge County Marriage Records, West Union, WV, http://www.wvculture.org/vrr/va_view.aspx?Id=11790171&Type=Marriage.
      Identified as Christopher Columbus Smith, 28, b. Tyler Co, res. Doddridge Co; and Sarah Elisabeth Williams, 15, b. & res. in Doddridge Co. Married Apr 4 1888 "at the residence of the bride's father," officiated by F. J. Ashburn, a minister of the Gospel. Informants for marriage license: C. C. Smith & John L. Williams.
      NOTE: Wife's obituary incorrectly states marriage date as Mar 28 1888. But the record shows that the marriage license was issued on Mar 26 1888, and the wedding itself was on Apr 4 1888.
