Marriages are also included in this interruption, until further notice.  Unless you are a Funeral Home, this interruption does not apply to you.  We are asking the Funeral Homes, any certificates ten or more; you are asked to drop off your request to this office, and we will call you as soon as the certificates are ready.

No changes or restrictions have been placed regarding Real Estate.  We are asking, as much as possible, that you reframe from bringing your instruments for recordings in the office of Register of Deeds after 4:30 p.m.
