      Identified as Frank Drain, 19, b. Wood Co, res. Gilmer Co; and Mary Viola Spurgeon, 16, b. & res. in Gilmer Co. The exact marriage date is not given, only the year 1894. However, the position of the entry in the ledger-styler record book indicates that the date was between late November and early December, probably the latter.
