A Marriage Certificate



Above is a marriage certificate signed by CTR when he performed the wedding between Isaac Hoskins and Estelle Whitehouse in January 1908.  Both Isaac and Estelle were workers at the Allegheny Bible House at the time. They can both be seen in the 1907 Bible House group photo.

Isaac Hoskins became one of the Society’s directors in 1908. He was one of the four directors  replaced by JFR in 1917 and became one of a “Committee of Seven” formed to start a separate group (Herald magazine as quoted in Jehovah’s Witnesses in the Divine Purpose, page 73 and footnote). He ultimately left that group and started his own magazine. He died in 1957.
