An article appearing in the June 25, 1935 issue
of the Sandusky Register reported
that 41 marriage licenses had been issued in that month. The
highest number of marriage licenses issued in Erie County in the month of June
was in 1929, when a record of 55 marriage licenses had been issued.
Several
wedding related items are housed at the Follett House Museum and the Sandusky
Library Archives Research Center. Below
is an undated picture which shows the interior of Saints Peter and Paul
Catholic Church during a wedding ceremony.
This bride had her picture taken at the former
Sandusky Business Women’s Club. Though we do not know the name of the bride,
the photograph was taken by Torow Studio.
The wedding of Arthur Moosbrugger
and Lucille Holtz also took place in 1938, at St. Mary’s Church.
Laura Elizabeth Cooke was the daughter of Pitt Cooke and Mary Townsend Cooke. Laura is pictured below in her wedding dress on December 8, 1886. Laura’s groom, Franklin S. Barker, was a photographer in business with Mr. W. A. Bishop at the time of his wedding.
In 1891, Sakie Prout married
Charles Merz. Dr. Charles Merz was a physician in Sandusky , as well as an expert on Masonic history. Dr. Merz’s best man
was George Prout, and Sakie’s maid of honor was Mary Bookwalter Prout.
