Bills Family - Bills Green Marriage License - page 5

This is a copy of the original marriage record for Pulaski Green and Ann Eliza Bill. This was copied in the Summer of 2012, on our first family history tour to the Midwest. It was found in the "archive" of Pike County Illinois, located in Pittsfield. Looking at the bottom of the page, you will see that they were married by Ann Eliza's brother Arthur F. Bills who was a Justice of the Peace.

It reads:
