"James Farley and Flora B Wood applied for marriage license June 8, 1870
and the legal age and condition of said Farley having been established by
the affidavit of Wm. Brandon and the consent in writing of Jehial Wood
father of the said Flora B. Wood having been filed said license was
thereupon issued. This certifies that on the 9th day of June A.D. 1870
at residence of Wm. A. Brandon in said county according to law and by
authority I duly joined in marriage James Farley and Flora B. Wood.
Given under my hand the ninth day of June A.D. 1870. F.B. Banks Justice
