Orilla Catherine Wehrly (1872-1950), Jay County, Indiana

Working on filling in some gaps in my database by utilizing the "Indiana Marriages, 1811-1959" database at Familysearch.org to see what updates and corrections I could find.

Orilla Catherine Wehrly (1872-1950), was the daughter of William P. and Olive Jane (Smith) Wehrly. Her marriage to Arthur B. Andrews on December 25, 1893 in Jay County, Indiana was found in the database.  Prior to this find, I didn't have the exact location of their marriage.  Note the record uses the spelling 'Wehrley'.

"Indiana, Marriages, 1811-1959," index and images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/V6RP-VQ2 : accessed 05 Aug 2013), Arthur B Andrews and Orilla C Wehrley, 1893.

Catherine was my paternal great-grandaunt.  Her father, William P. Wehrly, was my great-great grandfather.  A previous post details more information about her life and what I have discovered.
