Reply to My thermostat uses the expansion/contraction of a drop mercury to conduct electricity and trigger when to turn off and on. by Iain_MS
Na, its using a bimetallic strip to move the glass in the tube. The mercury slides back and forth, and makes contact with the conductors only one one side.

It's interesting that the line for the first person's name has "Mr." printed, but the line for the other person's name has just "M". I wonder what the other possibilities were besides "Miss"

I found this in the 1900 census from Grant, WV:
John T Evans - 57 - Head of Household
Jane Evans - 51 - Wife
Walter Evans - 22 - Son
Fanny Evans - 17 - Daughter
Ocie S Evans - 13 - Daughter
Henry H Evans - 11 - Son
John E Evans - 5 - Son
According to wvgenweb.org. he was 26 when he married in 1922, so this could be accurate.
EDIT: In 1930, he and Gertrude lived in New York, NY with five children (Hazel - 16, James - 14. Eva - 12 [this may be a typo by the census taker--2 seems possible, but Im not sure], Elizabeth - 5, and Jeneva - 1). From 1930 Federal Census.
EDIT 2: The 1940 Census has four additional children. (Virginia May - 10, Frank - 8, Dorothy - 5, and Walter - 3). They lived in Babylon, Suffolk, NY in 1935 and at 259 Main St., Fishkill, Dutchess, NY in 1940.
Remember, these are 10 years apart from the previous census.
EDIT 3: WWI service records seem to indicate his serial number was 5,831,951. He may have served overseas from Feb. 26, 1916 - Apr. 5, 1919. Honorably discharged Apr. 21, 1919.
EDIT 4: WWII Draft Registration shows serial number 2970 and a birth date of Dec. 8, 1895.
EDIT 5: Youngest child, Walter W. (1937-1998), born and died in Fishkill, Dutchess, NY. Buried in Fishkill Rural Cemetery. Married to Nancy Jane Evans (Oct. 27, 1938-Dec. 5, 2019).
EDIT 6: John E. Evans' Gravesite and his daughter, Dorothy Louise Evans Carr (obituary at bottom of page). Dorothy was born Sept. 2, 1934 and passed away peacefully in her sleep on Nov. 11, 2020.
That's all I've got for now, but OP did say this:
>The previous owner of the house passed away before we bought it. I don’t know her maiden name, but I assume this was her parents’ marriage certificate, and was perhaps brought in when her father came to live with them (presumably after his wife passed away). As I mentioned in another comment, the wall itself was a partition partially built out of moving crates, with John Evans’ name and address stamped on them.
And this:
>I live in Vermont, not West Virginia.
I suspect it may have been Dorothy Louise Evans' home as she resided in Burlington, Chittenden County, Vermont, at the time of her death.
Sadly, every family member I have listed thus far had passed away prior to Dorothy.
FINAL UPDATE: OP has confirmed that the house belonged to Dorothy.

If you can post a link to a high res version where everything is legible then I can add this to the records on familysearch.org
