NOTE: I decided to see what was published in the Evansville newspapers about the wedding. I did not find a report of the marriage in the Browning Online Genealogical Database. I checked the Willard Library Online Marriage Index of Vanderburgh County and finally found them recorded in Volume 162, Page 151 as Ullin Leavell Bivins & Stella N. Myers (I have not checked the actual Marriage books to determine if the names & spellings are correct). - JGWest
