The marriage, which took place a year ago oh April 18, 1936, was celebrated at Stockton, 111., where a nuptial high mass was read by Father J. W. Rojermjn at Holy Cross church in that city. The couple was" attended by their friends, Miss Irene McNamara of Marengo and Alvm Phannenstill of McHenry. Although the groom's family learned of the wedding }ast August, the secret was well guarded until a few months ago when friends began to suspect the truth.

His body was found under a farm pulveriser, which he had been operating. The body showed indications that Mr. Vasey had been dragged for some distance. About 2 o'clock in the afternoon, two brothers, John and Jay Vasey, who live on an adjoining farm, which is a part of the homestead, went out to look over the land to see if it was dry enough to work.
