Description - This original 1903 "Certificate of
Marriage" is made of thin cardboard and is quite
decorative. We trimmed one edge slightly to frame it
in an antique wood frame (with wood backing and glass
front), and added gold matboard around the edge, so it
is ready to hang (wire is new). (The flowers seen in
front of the frame are for decoration only and aren't
included). DESCRIPTION: What follows in capitals is
printed on the certificate. What is not in all caps is
handwritten, to personalize the certificate. Under the
title, "CERTIFICATE OF MARRIAGE" it reads: "THIS
CERTIFIES THAT Sidney Disbrow Swarthout OF Middlesex,
STATE OF New York, AND Grace Alida Baird OF Middlesex,
STATE OF New York WERE BY ME UNITED IN THE HOLY BONDS
OF MATRIMONY ACCORDING TO THE ORDINANCE OF GOD AND THE
LAWS OF THE STATE OF New York ON THE Seventh DAY OF
June AD 1903 AT Middlesex New York IN THE PRESSENCE OF
Maud Rector AT Middlesex, New York, G.E. Fay,
Middlesex
