Copy of O. E. Mueauax?, and L. A.Mulanax
Affidavit for Marriage License

Mar 11, 1903

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 O. E. Mueauax?, and L. A.Mulanax on their prenuptial dated Mar 11, 1903 and record number 85 A in the Mills County Pre Nuptials. The record is not hard to read


In this case, I decided to scan the record, because of the similarities of the surname spellings


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.
