I'm confused by some information I just found at the library in Salem, IN. I copied a
page from the Marriage Returns Book, Volume III. It has a marriage between Nathaniel
Vanmeter and Lucy Ann Meadors Paris on June 14, 1883. It was Nathaniel's 3rd marriage
and Lucy's 2nd marriage. He gives his occupation as physician and his parents as
Joseph Vanmeter and Jane Campbell. It says he was born in Washington Co. IN and will be 58
his next birthday. Nathaniel and Lucy were married by William H. Vanmeter JP near New
Philadelphia, Washington Co. IN. Witnesses were Stephen and Sallie Vanmeter. According to
Catherine's obituary, her husband died about 1878. From this it would appear that the
Nathaniel Vanmeter she married was not the son of Joseph Vanmeter and Jane Campbell or
that they divorced and he did not die as stated in her obituary. I have been trying to
figure out this mystery with no luck. Does anyone have any thoughts regarding this
mystery?
