Marriage License Robert M Rhea and Mrs. Anna Gebeau Issued August 2, 1879 Married August 11, 1870 Registered August 13, 1870 A. J. Nimmo, Clerk Notes from researcher on this
document: The document is difficult to read
because of the clerk’s handwriting and I have had to guess at
the spelling of his name. The census lists him as Nimmo. The
two witnesses were businessmen but I am unsure of the actual location
of the marriage. I think perhaps Jonesboro, the county seat,
or Anna since all the witnesses lived in that area.
