Transcription
The typescript is a table (page number in the marriage book, date, name of male, name of female, officiant). The entry, as read from the clearer copy on scan n70 (the same page is typed again on scan n68, where the OCR is garbled):
39 · Sept 7 1893 · Webb, J. P. · Elba Lively · William Mitch[ell]
The officiant's name is cut off in the text layer after "Mitch"; scan n68 reads "William Mitctel:" [sic], so "Mitchell" is the likely reading.
