Dear Jim,
Were you ever able to obtain a copy of a marriage license or marriage application for Annie and Emil? I would be interestd in finding out who the witnesses were, what information Annie and Emil had to give for their marriage. I found out that Annie's grandmother, Elizabeth Dunhill Blades did not die in Chicago, but in Iowa. She was visiting a grandson there and passed away. Her body was taken to Gary, S. Dakota for burial. Her daughter Annie Lightfoot lived there, and her husband James died there in 1885. If I find out more, I will let you know. Mary
