DAN CUPID ACTIVE 
IN COUNTY IN 1934; 
12-YEAR RECORD SET  
Total Of 207 Couples Issued 
Marriage Licenses In 
1934 by County Clerk 
Harold Price

Further evidence that the depression is on its way out was given this morning by
(Summers) County Clerk Harold E. Price when he reported that the number of
marriage licenses issued during 1934 topped the total of 1933, when a record of
eleven years standing was shattered. Wedding bells chimed for 207 Summers county
couples during the past twelve months, as compared with an even 200 for 1933.

The first license of 1934 was issued to George L. Young, of East Beckley and
Martha L. Cox, Hinton. The couple was married on January 2 by the Rev. H.P.
Hackney. The last license in 1934 was issued to Cornelia Mosley and Evelyn
Jones, both colored, of Hinton…

The most profitable month for the clerk was, strangely, not June but December
when 24 licenses were entered…  


Additional Comments:
Article clipped by the former Golda Mae Vest of White Oak Mountain, Raleigh
County, W.Va.,  who married Earl George Smith of Abraham, Raleigh County, on 26
Dec 1934, in the Jumping Branch, Summers County, home of the Rev. Alfred (Alf)
Cole. 

(Rev. Cole also performed the marriage ceremony for Golda’s mother Emma Stella
Gadd and James Anderson Elmer Via on 06 Nov 1900. After Anderson’s death, Stella
married Leonard Haliburton Vest.)

The clip (online here: http://wva.homestead.com/Shoebox.html) isn’t dated and
doesn’t say which paper (Beckley or Hinton).
