Wedding License Oops!

Reported in the December 3, 1921 Riverside Daily Press:

Elva Patton and Roy Kock applied for a marriage licence at the  Riverside County Clerk's office. No problem was encountered and they left with license in hand. However, when they presented the licence in Pomona they discovered that a marriage licence can only be used in the county in which it is taken out. They proceeded to round up a minister and two witnesses and headed out to the nearest point in Riverside County they could reach. There, at a place near Winville, they were married on the highway. Problem solved!
