They are not in the IL Secretary of State marriage database, under either the groom or the bride. I also just checked the Missouri Marriage Records 1805-2002, with no luck. They also are not in the Social Security Death Index. Apparently there is no easy research on this couple. The couple is: Joseph D. Bertino and Catherine Ricono, with a probable marriage year of 1915 (cemetery record, source unknown). Both were born in 1890. They lived in Benld and are buried in Benld Cemetery.
