MARRIED IX CHICAGO.

Simon Thompson anil Miss Helen Hill Go to “Windy City” to Wed. After a courtship of two or three years, Simon Thompson, youngest son of the late Judge S. P. Thompson, and Miss Helen Hill, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hill, two popular young people of Rensselaer, were married in Chicago Tuesday by Rev. W. G. Winn, formerly pastor of the Rensselaer Christion church, who is now pastor of the Irving Park, Chicago, Christian church, according to telegrams received by Rensselaer friends of Mr. Thompson Wednesday morning. Miss Hill went to Chicago last Thursday to visit with Mr. and Mrs. H. R. Kurrie for a few days, and Mr. Thompson went up Sunday afternoon. The parents of the bride were not aware that the marriage was to take place at this time, and were surprised when appraised of the fact. The young couple is expected to return home tomorrow, and it is thought they will begin housekeeping on Mr. Kurrie’s farm, just north of town. The Democrat joins their many friends in extending hearty congratulations.
