This marriage certificate belonged to my grandfather Shirley Greene [Tripp] Triplett and Hildegarde Olga Starr [Grandma].
It was issued in County of Fresno, [in the] State of California.
It reads:
I hereby Certify that on July 13 1950 at Fresno California under authority of a license issued by the County Clerk of the County of Fresno, I the undersigned, as a minister of the Presbyterian Church, joined in marriage, Shirley G. Triplett and Hildegarde Olga Starr in the presence of Harry L. Andrews, residing at Fresno California, and Ella T. Andrews, residing at Fresno California.
Grandpa and Grandma met each other at "Electric Lab", where they worked. Grandpa worked on the electrical components of cars and I assume that Grandma worked in the office. I think Grandma came to live in Fresno after "Ex" [one of her exes, left with all of her money from her first marriage to Maurice Starr - husband number one].
What is interesting about this marriage, is that I don't know if this was Grandma's 3rd or 4th marriage....
The Andrews mentioned on the marriage certificate are Grandma's sister and brother-in-law. Apparently neither Grandpa nor Grandma wanted any one but Harry and Ella there.
