Marriage records issued prior to 1882 will not contain information about the
parents.
In 1882 the State of Indiana created a position in each county for an
official Health Officer. Applications for Marriage were created and kept by
that officer until its demise in 1948.
Also, starting in about 1905 the County Clerk began collecting application
information which was more detailed than that of the County Health Officer.
Since the marriage of Neff to Stobaugh occurred in 1893 the only marriage
application information available will be from the Health Officer records
which are located in the Research Library of the Kosciusko County Historical
Society.
Susie Stobaugh's parents are Jacob & Elizabeth (Herod) Stobaugh.
Charles Bert Neff's parents were Emanuel & ? (Welter) Neff.
To obtain a copy of this application, please contact Tina Buchman, the
official research assistant for the Genealogy Section of the Kosciusko
County Historical Society.
Good luck in your searching.

Subject: [INKOSCIU] Marriage Applications Question
Yesterday I received my great grandparent's, Charles Bert Neff
and Susie
Bell
Stobaugh, marriage license in the mail. It doesn't have the names
of their
parents or any additional information available. Would there be a marriage
application some place? I have the same problem with a marriage license in
Putnam
County. Is this typical for IN?
Any help will be appreciated.
Happy hunting to all,
Susan/CA
