On the marriage return Roberta's mother, Mrs. H B Griffith, and Marion's mother, Mrs. F D Christensen, were witnesses. License date was 05 May. My preliminary research suggests their children were Dennis Christensen (c1947-, m. Shirley Lnu, res. Kiowa 2016), Kathleen Christensen (c1948-, m. Larry Gilchrist, res. Seiling, OK 2016), Sherill Ann Christensen (c1956-, m. Duane Jackson, res. Kiowa 2016) and Steven Christensen (c1957-, m. Carolyn Lnu, res. Kiowa 2016).5 |
