I bet you could find the men fairly easily in this day and age. It's more of a mixed bag with women and their last names. After, of course, you FOIA the Circuit Clerk for all the marriage licenses issued on that fateful date. Old school and new school journalism.
I was married at the new Kane courthouse. It lasted a little more than a year, although we have a . My cynical side says that very few of these marriages lasted very long.
This got me thinking that journalism and history are closely related. You are obviously a guy who likes history, so a "where are they now?" column was perfect for you.
