Date:       29 Apr 1935
County of Record: Juab
State:      Utah
Volume: 5
Page:      116
Comment: Certificate # 1678
The Joel C. of this record is the right age to be our Joel Clement, but no other record is found to confirm that this is our Joel Clement. Note that the IGI has a submitted marriage entry for a Buelah Baxter and Sylvester Lee Pierce: Marriage 30 MAR 1937  Nephi, Juab, Utah. The Buelah Baxter of that IGI entry was born 26 JUL 1917 - the right age to be the Buelah Baxter who married Joel C. Metcalf. So everything fits, but we would need to see the marriage certificate to confirm or deny that this is our Joel Clement Metcalf.

Joel C. Metcalf & Buelah Baxter had a son: Source is the death certificate; seen online at Utah History Reseach Center; http://historyresearch.utah.gov/indexes/index.html

CHILD 6 - Deon METCALF

BIRTH-DEATH-BAPTISM-ENDOWMENT: IGI; Source is LDS Church membership record; has marriage 23 JUL 1946, no place, no spouse name.

MARRIAGE: IGI gives marriage date 23 JUL 1946 but no spouse name. His death certificate gives wife's name as Ester W. Metcalf. The history of his brother Joel Clement Metcalf (written by Clem's wife), while talking about the winter of 1948/1949, says, "Clem's brother Deon and his wife Esther lived next door to us on the south." So it is a leap to have the marriage to Ester on 23 JUL 1946, but it is an educated leap.
