Record number: 1429
Date of marriage: July 12 1883
Place of marriage: Grant
Groom: David S Rulf, white
Groom Residence: Sparta Centre
Age of Groom: 24
Birthplace of Groom: Michigan
Occupation of Groom: Laborer
Bride: Annie Jane Trexell, white
Residence of Bride: Grant
Age of Bride: 13
Birthplace of Bride: Michigan
Official Performing marriage: George J. Daniels, Justice of the Peace
Witnesses to Marriage: James P Daniels and Harriet E. Daniels of Grant
Date of Record: July 1883
The Surname of the groom is mispelled in the record book but I do not know if it was in error or the name was intentionally given by groom. On speculation I would guess that it was intentional due to the brides age of 13 and grooms age of 24. Probably was a shot gun wedding of sorts.
The Justice of the Peace, George Daniels and witness James P Daniels were Anna's cousin and uncle and the Witness Harriet E. Daniels was Anna's grandmother. They were verified from the 1870 Census for Grant, Newaygo, MI pg 2. Both families were living next door to each other and in 1880 for Grant, Newago, MI, Harriet and Anna's grandfather John Daniels were living in the same householdDavid is listed as David S Rulf in the marriage record. - [S590] Michigan., Michigan Marriages 1868-1925., (database with images.
