The one on right is correct, the one on the left is blasphemy.

Well done! Dorothy Carr was the former homeowner, so this is indeed her parents’ marriage certificate.

Thats what I was thinking too since my mom's side of the family also uses the same funeral home.
Dorothy passed away less than two years ago, so that would be a really good option. I would love to hear that I helped reunite this piece of family history with their descendants, but I also wouldn't blame OP if they left it alone since it's already been framed and placed back in the wall that's now sealed up again lol

Tell us you've never removed the cover of the thermostat without telling us.

Any safety concerns? (Aside from if the mercury gets out somehow, which would obviously be bad).

The obituary for Dorothy Louise lists a funeral home of Corbin & Palmer Funeral Home at 9 Pleasant Street in Essex Junction, Vt. If this is not far maybe OP can reach out explain what he found and ask if the funeral home has a point of contact for the family. I know my family tend to use the same funeral home in the near by town, almost every family members funeral I can remember was held at the same place. If this is true in Vermont they might be able to help reunite that piece of family history with the family.

Lol so true, to be honest, the whole republican party should be in jail.
There's only one forever party for America, that's the Democratic party

Could just create the person in ancestry, upload the picture and see if anyone else connects with it.

No worries, even as an American, it's hard to keep the shitshow we call our political system straight sometimes. Everyone's breaking a law, just depends on whether they get caught or not.

Regardless of what side you fall on, this is a really shallow take. Jailing your opposition and espousing that you’re views are the only way forward is a very dangerous extremist mindset that’s toxic to change and civil dialogue.
