Copy of I.E. Weaver and Liva Keys or Keep?
Affidavit for Marriage License

Aug 22, 1898

Whenever someone transcribes old records, sometimes the old style writing is hard to read and therefore I receive email's or letters telling me the correct version. In some cases the name or spelling changes over the years, but those living now think the spelling should be as it is currently etc. Whatever the reason and whenever possible, I try to put both or more versions on the record out at the same time, so those researching can make their own decision's about the information.

This is the case with I.E. Weaver and Liva Keys or Keep? on their prenuptial dated Aug 22, 1898 and record number 50 B in the Mills County Pre Nuptials. The record is old time writing.

I was looking thru the marriage records and noticed that I.M Weaver which is my Great Grandfather you have Liva Keep? It is Liva Keys. I just thought you might be interested in the name. This page is great thanks for the great work you have done.


These affidavits were sworn statements that the individuals were of age and that there were no objections to their marriage. These were not actual marriage licenses, but most of the couples considered them to be and never obtained an actual license.

There are four Affidavit’s per page, for clarity, I have labled them A, B, C, D starting at the top of the page. There are no certificate numbers or letters on the actual affidavit’s Every attempt was made in transcibing the correct spelling of names, but some records were unreadable or barely readable.
