A Quaker Wedding Certificate

January 25, 2009 — Mary Briggeman (Views: 110)

For years, I had wondered what had happened to the wedding certificate from my parents, as my mother was an incredible saver of all things. They were married by Friends Ceremony at Reading Meeting in 1955, but the document was nowhere to be found until it recently turned up in its original metal canister, tucked away in an old box. Since many folks frame these documents and display them prominently, I was surprised that Mom hadn’t done so, unitl I unrolled the large certificiate and realized that there were so many signatures that they continued on the back of the sheet in order to have room for them all. I’ve transcribed the certificate, and added the listing to the site’s Data section here.
