I tried to use Transkribus for this transcription, but it did a terrible job. I then switched to Claude, and it transcribed the Certificate of Marriage almost perfectly:
"CERTIFICATE
THIS IS TO CERTIFY That I, Roy L. Crewes did this day perform the marriage ceremony for the within named persons at {Savannah A.C. Church in Lee County of} South Carolina, this twenty-sixth day of June, A.D. 1937
Roy S. Owens, Pastor
Savannah A.C. Church
Signatures of Contracting Parties:
Frances Blackwell
Calvin K. Hook
When used return to Judge of Probate, Bishopville, S. C., promptly."
