from City Clerk of Old Town dated November 26, 1973.  Gives age of Anna S.

marriage record on file, so certified copy not issued.

Letter to Saint Joseph's Rectory, 262 South Main Street, Old Town, Maine 04468
yielded the following reply on February 16, 1974:
"Dear Mr. Rail, Our marriage records end on September 2, 1870 with the last
entry by a Fr. McFaul and then resumes on Aug 1, 1871 with a first entry by Fr.
John Duddy.  It is entirely possible that your 2nd great grandfather was
married here - however it is difficult to prove it.  I looked at the record
through 1874 and was not able to find a Morrison-Stafford marriage- Sincerely,
Fr. Norman Fontaine."  A similar letter to the United Methodist Church in Old
Town resulted in a reply that they have no records prior to 1875.

"S." or who knows.  Further research in progress.
