Message Board Post:
I found two brief mentions of Charles and Dora's marriage in the paper. One said they
were married "under the rose" but that their marriage was properly registered. I
figured out that "under the rose" means that they married secretly. There was
another article that said they did not want their marriage license published until a
couple of weeks after the marriage. Hmm- makes you wonder why- did someone else not want
them to marry?
The 1900 census says that Dora had not had any children, which may indicate that Emma was
not her biological child.
I will keep looking- I can't resist a mystery!
