It has been a while since we've mentioned Montville Harness.
A search for Montville Harness's marriage record on
FamilySearch indicated there were two references to he and Ella Boyer marrying in Canadian County, Oklahoma.
Both of these references indicate there was a marriage date.
The problem is that there was no marriage in 1901.
The 1901 reference, shown in the image below, indicates that the marriage was cancelled. That word is written across the entire page in the marriage record and the "certificate of marriage" section of the record (not included here) is entirely blank.The couple was not married in 1901.
However, 151 pages later, in the entries for 1902, there is another entry for Harness and Boyer. This time they actually completed the marriage ceremony. A Methodist minister married the couple in Quincy, Oklahoma, in June of 1902.
FamilySearch.com makes it difficult to determine the specific letter of the volume from which these marriage record entries are taken. These images are taken from either volumes 4,5,or 6 from Canadian County, Oklahoma.
