I want to say yes, but I can't remember for sure when those came in to being. I believe some time in the late 1880's there was an application book, license book, and return book all in use. Around 1900 these were combined into an application/license all in one book.

One way to tell is if you have access to the WPA marriage index for Newton County, if there is one entry, there is only a license or application/license. If there are two or three entries for the same marriage, then there is an application and return as well as the license.

You can request more by writing the clerk's office at PO Box 49, Kentland, IN 47951.
