Wife of William J. "Bill" Ankrom, married Aug. 22, 1901. Sources vary as to the location - some list the marriage location as Fairfield, in Jefferson county, Iowa, while others list it as being in Keosauqua, Van Buren county, Iowa. Not sure how to reconcile these differences as even vital records can be off somewhat, so family researchers should use caution with either location attributed to the marriage location.
