Notes:
I found this among my grandmother’s possessions after she passed away.
This certificate has the date 9/23/19 handwritten in the corner and was stamped “Issued, Bureau of Compulsory Education, 1522 Cherry St., Phila.” My grandmother was working at a hosiery mill by January 1920, according to the census. My guess is that this certificate was obtained so that she could leave school and go to work.

After obtaining Margaret McElhenny Levens’ death certificate which listed her parents as Alexander McElheny and Sophia Hazelet, I found this marriage record in the Historical Society of Pennsylvania’s Pennsylvania Historic Church and Town Records database on Ancestry.com. The below is from the church records of St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church in Philadelphia.
