Lisle E. Wehrly (c1902-1981), Jay County, Indiana

Working on filling in some gaps in my database by utilizing the "Indiana Marriages, 1811-1959" database at Familysearch.org to see what updates and corrections I could find.

Lisle E. Wehrly (c1902-1981) was the son of Alva Monroe and Emma C. (Yaeger) Wehrly.  His marriage to Cora E. Baldauf on April 3, 1924 in Jay County, Indiana was found in the database.  Prior to this find, I did not have a date or place for their marriage.
