- The person signing the marriage certificate (S. B. Gregory) signed it the day after they were married. Does this mean they were married in a church or by a paster on 30 AUG 1866 (Thursday) and the certificate was completed with the local authorities the next day (Friday)?

Geiger, Emily, b. Feb 1869, New York, NY |
| Marriage |
19 Jul 1889 |
New York, NY [5, 6, 7] |
| Notes |
- From Susan B.: Emily accused William of "associating with lewd women." Emily filed for divorce on 26 September 1907 for adultery discovered in 1906. But the big mystery is that the divorce case was dismissed before the day of the final decree. Cook County archives cannot find any continuation but they say it may be misfiled.
