  	First met
  Marriage	5 Nov 1912	Lexington, Fayette, Kentucky, USA   [1, 42, 43]
  	The marriage on 5 Nov 1912 was performed by the Rev. J. M. MEALER, and witnessed by the bride's mother, Mrs. James RAE, and by Dr. Julia WASHBURN (relationship unknown). Based on their son's birth on 13 Jan 1913, Elizabeth was 7 months pregnant when married. Two days after the marriage a newspaper article listed them as having received a marriage license. About 3 weeks later another article stated that they were married in May 1912, apparently an attempt to cover up the timing of the pregnancy. The article also stated that Luther was from Boston, MA, but I think this was a further attempt to glamorize the marriage because there is no information that he was ever near Boston. His US Army records state that he was born in Tennessee and stationed in Somerset, KY at the time of the marriage. According to the court divorce documents, Elizabeth and Luther had a prior separation from Jun 1914 until 9 Feb 1915 while he lived in Somerset, KY and she returned to live with her parents in Lexington, KY. While living in Lexington on 6 Apr 1919, they separated permanently after Luther slapped Elizabeth during an arguement. The court Depositions paint a picture of verbal abuse by Luther over several years. - WW COCHRANE IV [9, 39, 40, 41]

  	Marriage performed by H. E. ELLIS and witnessed by his wife, Mrs. H. E. ELLIS, and by Mildred V. RABE, the groom's daughter by his first wife. It is curious that they married in Paris (Bourbon County) while living in Woodford County. Her parents printed a wedding announcement, so there was not an attempt to keep it quiet. Also see Medical Notes for Elizabeth RAE regarding no children from this marriage. - WW COCHRANE IV [2]

• Notes

  She used her middle name, Elizabeth, and did not use her first name, Mary. - WW COCHRANE IV [1, 2] (Medical):Her Death Certificate lists the cause of death as "Puerperal Septicemia", which is blood poisoning from a lesion received during childbirth. I cannot find a birth or death certificate for a child in the previous 6 weeks, nor a newspaper article about a child. Her obituaries do not mention cause of death, but say she was ill for 2 weeks, suffering a partial stroke of paralysis and pneumonia. I also spoke with a grandson of William RABE and RABE's first wife, and he and his sister had no knowledge of any children in her second marriage to William RABE. - WW COCHRANE IV [36, 49]
