Citing this Record
"Nebraska Marriages, 1855-1995," database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:Q298-G641 : 18 January 2020), Lightfoot in entry for Jacob E. Herman, 21 Dec 1905; citing Marriage, Kearney, Buffalo, Nebraska, United States, Nebraska State Historical Society, Lincoln; FHL microfilm 1,954,014.

NOTE - The marriage license showed her name as Caroline L. Clark but her father's name as W. L. Detamore which means she was probably previously married. Her husband, Jacob Herman, was obviously previously married because the 1900 US Census showed him widowed and with an 11 year old son.
