Children: Ogden Townsend Christy Jr-location unknown, Laura May Christy (Fry), Mable E Christy-died in infancy in Philadelphia. Moved to Independence MO around 1920. Member of RLDS church.

The picture of the marriage certificate has an interesting story.
I recieved an email from 'Kathy' who had found my findagrave.com memorial for Ogden Christy. During the 1960's, Kathy's grandmother had purchased a pictureframe at a yard sale in Texas. When she opened the frame to remove the picture there was this marriage certificate in the back of it for Ogden Christy and Martha Bacon from Philadelphia dated 1877. Kathy's family kept the document for over 50 years hoping to return it to the family it belonged to. She found me. She FedEx'd the FRAGILE document to me. Do you believe in miracles? I do...
Thank you Kathy.
