The Jefferson Co. marriage records have been compiled from origin of county up to 1930. There is only one marriage of persons with Greathouse surname in that time period.
Abraham Greathouse, age 47, of Valley Falls, married 22 Sep. 1910 to Sarah J. Greathouse, age 53, of Valley Falls. Book H, page 234.
One would wonder if this was a remarriage after a divorce. The divorce records are compiled, but only up to 1900, so we can not determine if that might be true.
Atchison Co. and Jackson Co. are fairly close to Valley Falls, so they might have have obtained the license in one of those counties. I'll check at the Jeff. Gen. Soc. library to see if they have any marriage records for either county during that time period.
There was a newspaper account of a "town vs. country" baseball game in Valley Falls Vindicator of 5 Oct. 1917. The right fielder was "Bert Scott". That's all I have found on them.
