Rensselaer Republican, Volume 27, Number 35, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 7 May 1896 — Married In Chicago. [ARTICLE]

Married In Chicago.

Mr. Edgar L. Cox, the head of the prominent contracting and building firm of E. L. Cox <fc Bra and Miss Jennie Miller, for several years past a much esteemed teacher in the Rensselaer schools, were married Monday evening,’in Chicago, at the residence of the bride’s sister and brother, Edith and Albion Miller, at 1942 West Polk Street The marriage took place several months earlier than had been intended and under circumstances which made the occasion far from a happy one. Miss Miller has been failing in health for several months,'and last Sunday her physician told her she had consumption, and her only hope for recovery was an immediate change of climate. It was therefore decided that she would go at once to Colorado, and that the marriage should take place before her departure. Hence the wedding, Monday, as above stated, and the newly made bride’s departure for Colorado# the next day. Mr. Cox’s business interests are at present so pressing that he can not leave Rensselaer, but if his wife finds the Colorado climate beneficial to her health, he will join her there in the fall. That it. may result in her full restoration to health is certainly the most earnest wish of a very large circle of friends. The marriage ceremony was performed by Elder J. H. O. Smith, the leading Disciple or Christian minister Of Chicago.
