This record of the marriage of Ernest L. Chalfant and Edna A. Haley was located at the Jay County Historical Society in Portland, Indiana.

Edna A. Haley was my paternal first cousin twice removed, the daughter of Andrew Frank Haley and Emma Catherine Leonard.  Before locating this record, I didn't have much biographical information, and had the marriage listed as taking place in Jay County, since that was where the license was from.  Without the return, I would not have known that the wedding took place in neighboring Adams County.

The minister who performed the ceremony was Rev. George David Ellsworth Haley, uncle of the bride.  The witnesses to the ceremony were the bride's brother and sister-in-law, Clarence and Julia Haley.
