I've "rescued" the original marriage certificate belonging to Frances Joseph COLDEN of Laclede County, MO and his bride Adelie C. TRACEY of Adams County, IA who were married in St. Louis, Missouri on the 6th of October 1873. The wedding was officiated by the Justice of the Peace, I.C.H. CUNNINGHAM and witnessed by Fred K. GEMMER.
Thanks to the assistance of a COLDEN Family researcher I know that Francis COLDEN b. 1847 was a silversmith living in St. Louis, MO in 1881. The couple had a daughter Nellie COLDEN who was married to George R. NELSON and living in Los Angeles, CA during the 1920 census with her father Francis also in the household.
Also living with the family during the 1920 census was a grandson Gordon GERSHARDT age 12 years.
I was hoping to locate someone from this family so that this precious old family document could be returned to the care of family, however, I was not successful so I have passed it along to the Laclede County Genealogical Society in hopes that they might have better luck locating family. If you are a member of this family or know someone who might be, please contact them.
Thanks,
Shelley
