Good to find Uncle Lon and Aunt Edna here, Brandon. My grandmother, Wealthy Lambert, sister to Uncle Lon, married Bruce Hatfield the next day on the 27th. Lon and Edna were witnesses at the wedding. This marriage certificate is framed and hangs in home.
Good to hear from you, Jan. It’s been a long time!
