[Wedding Portrait of Harold Hansen and Ella Olsen Hansen]

Black and white photograph of a newlywed couple posed for a portrait together. The groom, Harold A. Hansen is seated to the left and the bride, Ella Olsen Hansen, is seated to the right, although she is slightly more elevated than Harold. Harold is wearing a dark suit jacket; underneath, he is wearing a round-collared shirt and a white tie with a tiny pin attached to it. Ella is wearing a white blouse that may be part of a dress; the collar on it is made of lace and has a pin at its center. Their bodies from the torso down are not visible due to a deep vignetting at the bottom of the photograph.

Andrew & Dagny Jensen Marriage License (open access)

Andrew & Dagny Jensen Marriage License

Marriage license provided to Anders Jessen Jensen and Dagny Andersen from the Wharton County courthouse. There is a black and white illustration at the very top of the document of a bell composed entirely of small flowers, with a leafy vine emerging from the back of the bell and encircling it in an arc. This bell is inside a circular motif with decorative geometric elements around the edge, and is flanked on both sides by bold, Old English text that declares the document as a Marriage License. Hand-written text has been placed in several areas: where it calls for the names of the couple, dates, signatures, etc. The actual ceremony was ordained by Pastor J. A. M. Rodholm. When closed, the information provided in the opened document is condensed into the upper half of the document's back.
