I came across the marriage record when looking for other Damons and so added it here. There are a few discrepancies -William's middle name is listed as "Huntington" and Grace has the first name "Bertha". It's an indexed record and I was not able to see the primary source, so feel free to adjust if it's not correct for this profile.
