State (Year) SSN issued:     Utah (Before 1951 )

MARRIAGE: Ancestral File has 11 Jun 1913. IGI entry (submitted) has 4 June. Both husband and wife were endowed in the Manti Temple on 11 Jun 1913 (documented by the IGI temple record), but an IGI record of sealing on that date is not currently seen. Note that their children's LDS Church membership records indicate that they were born in the covenant - including the son that was born in 1914. It is apparent that they were indeed sealed on the date they were married.
