      note - carefull analysis of the signatures on the license application suggests
      that Robert Conrad signed his name, but all information was filled in by the
      Clerk of the Orphan's Court (including the bride's signature). Uncertain of Robert's
      signature. But I wonder if Nannie was even present.
