Amanuensis Monday - Charles Vernon's 2nd Marriage

I had no idea that my Great-Grandfather Charles 'Vernon' Albea had been married twice [see how I found out]. My mom and my aunt were equally surprised. In the end however, my Great-Aunt Ree, Vernon's daughter, did know about the marriage to, as she referred to her, "that Budell woman." Being a true southern lady, Aunt Ree didn't have much nice to say about Alice Budell Hooper, so she didn't say much at all. That's ok, because exactly one week after sending for Vernon and Alice's marriage record, I received it in the mail. Because this document is meant to be folded, the different section are placed oddly when laid flat. I'm going to transcribe the document in a way that makes sense.
