Marriages from The Audrain County Oracle

Here are the marriages from The Audrain County Oracle that I have transcribed so far. The newspaper articles have been copied exactly as printed including what I felt were spelling errors. The Audrain County Oracle was a weekly paper published by John DeVault at Martinsburg, Missouri. Because of the proximity to Montgomery and Callaway Counties, often news from these areas was included. Copies of the paper from November 4, 1909, through November 12, 1914, and from December 20, 1917, through November 6, 1919, have been saved and may be viewed at the Missouri State Historical Society. -- Nancy Hale Lee nllee@ktis.net
