As Transcribed for the Osage County Genealogical Society in February, 1982, by Florence Green Stout and Sarah Walker-Hitt. Later additions added by Sarah Walker-Hitt, May, 1996.
The following marriages have two sources. Most came from the original "certificates" that were slips of papers ministers and Justices of the Peace turned into the County stating the marriage had taken place. Since no form was used, the amount of information was evidently left up to whoever performed the ceremony. Those marked with an asterick* came from an unmarked ledger discovered at the Osage County courthouse. All of the above mentioned slips were recorded in this book as well as the additional marriages marked.
Near the back of the book after many blank pages, a list of what appears to be declarations of marriage of "colored persons" which in those days could have included American Indians as well as African Americans. This list is also contained in this publication on the last page. These names are not in the Probate Judge's index of marriages as of May 1996.
Note: The records without the * are included in the Probate Judge's index of marriages (as of May 1996) although some spellings may have been judged differently.
