Marriage License of Charles Scheel and Margaret Platts

With all the images coming online - especially on familysearch.org - I have more things to post; hopefully this will keep up for a while!

First up is the Marriage License of Charles Scheel and Margaret Platts in 1927.  Double-click on the picture to embiggen.  I think I have some pictures of the happy couple on their wedding day, and I'll try to post them.
