Marriage Notes:
Although researcher Robert Westphal shows a marriage date of 1899 taking place in Trempealeau, Wisconsin, most other researchers reference the documented marriage in Chicago as occurring in 1898. Logically there seems to be no reason why the two residents of Trempealeau, Wisconsin would travel to Chicago to get married only to return back home to Trempealeau and continue to live there unless it was an elopement of some type.
