This record of the marriage of William Clifford LeMaster (1871-1922) and Lella Edith (Lewis) (LeMaster) Willis (1877-1943) was located at the Jay County Historical Society in Portland, Indiana.

This record also reflects the fluctuating surname, as the record adds the final 's' to the LeMaster surname.  In addition, the record shows the reversal of the first name and middle name, suggesting that he was known as "Clifford" more than as "William".

The groom was the cashier at the Elyria Savings Bank in Elyria, Ohio, and had just graduated in January 1892 from Oberlin College in Oberlin, Ohio.

The marriage ceremony was performed by Philip LeMasters (1836-1915), a Methodist minister and the great-uncle of the groom.
