Found in Logan Courthouse, Harrison Co., Iowa by Gayle Graham, September 1999:

In Marriage Record l892-1894 (Book #9) p.231 We have an application for
license between William Rosenburry and Mrs. Ellen Whitney. dated l July
1893 and Howard Smith swore she was of age.

License issued (same page) says William is 25 and Ellen Whitney is 30 (Once
again there is a small discrepancy in math!)

Same page - The Certificate of Marriage says William Rosenburry and Elizabeth
E. Whitney were married 2 July 1893 by A. L. Ta (?) or Jamison (?) a
Justice of the Peace. It was impossible to read.
