              In the early 1900s (around 1910-1920) Thelma Wiseman married a man with
              the last name of Bristow, probably in Lancaster, Missouri. They were from
              Iowa and I think they were too young to marry in Iowa so they probably got
              married in the northern part of Missouri, if it was not in Lancaster. I WOULD
              give ANYTHING to find a marriage certificate for this marriage, please contact
              me ASAP if you have any leads!!!!!
