It's in pretty bad shape and the publication info page is missing, but it appears from the entries, etc that it dates from late 1800s (maybe about 1874). Many of the entries are said to be in the hand (extremely neat and readable) of M.J. MEEK while others are in a different (and harder to read) hand. In the interest of sharing, here's the information contained in it: Certificate of Holy Matrimony Celebrated between: S.L. MEEK of McNairy County and M.J. YOUNG of McNairy County on November 22, 1874 at (the home of) R.N. YOUNG by Rev. McAnelly Witnesses: J.S. Ozmant Allie Moore Births: S.L. MEEK January 18, 1849 M.J.
