The bride’s name should be Lulie, but it clearly says Lubie in all three places it appears. (There are other words in the same hand on the page with an lower case l in them, like the county clerk’s name G. W. Hundley, and the preceding license for Alexander Zahmdt and Savilla Stewart, and he does not make l’s look like b’s.)
