THERE WERE 409 JUNE BRIDES.
Heaviest Marriage License Business
in History of the City.
More marriage licenses were granted by the recorder of deeds during June than ever before in the history of Kansas City. A total of 409 licenses were issued during the thirty days in June, and average of nearly fourteen daily. This means that 818 people agreed during the month to try the more or less tempestuous voyage on the sea of matrimonial bliss.
In only one day during the month, last Friday, did applicants fail to seek the happiness certificates, and in all the rest of the days, Sundays excepted, the office was literally crowded with those who wanted licenses.
