Thanks for posting this query! This is an example of why I enjoy doing lookups for people. I have birth and marriage records by county for Indiana on genealogy.com. Not all counties are on the indexes at Ancestry, and I had started looking up the birth record and marriage record for you and had found some possible 1880 census records for both George and Maggie. Then I decided to take a look on the Tippecanoe USGENWEB site since I couldn't find them in 1900 and because I thought that the name Pennington sounded familiar. (I haven't found yet where I believe I saw Pennington's in Biographies or County Histories yet), and found the image of the marriage record you wanted and was so excited that I could point you right to it. Then I decided I'd better be sure it wasn't you who posted it, and lo and behold, it was! I then scrapped the email knowing that even though you didn't include exact dates, that you did have them and likely had done the same research I just did. I noticed some Moore marriages above yours and decided to take another look at my John A. Carr and Julia A. M. Moore from Tippecanoe Co. WOW! I may have actually found both of them and their parents. I'm not real sure yet, but I am hopeful. Julia married both John A. Carr, my great grandfather's parents and Patrick Henry Carr. Since Patrick's father also had a son John who was nearer to the older Julia's age, I had a theory that he may have been Patrick's brother. I also haven't found out what happened to John yet, whether Julia and he divorced or he died. I did, however find a new possible John A. Carr who is 13 years older than Julia, but living in the same general area as the possible Julia Carr who may be mine on the 1850 census. He has different parents than Patrick Henry, but he is living in the same township as Patrick Henry Carr was living in 1874. Which also would seem to look as though they were brothers, but in fact, these two are not. I may have also found the deaths of Patrick and Julia in the index of the Lafayette paper. I really hadn't planned on doing any Carr/Moore research today, so your query put me in the right place at the right time! Now I have more questions than answers though, but much more information to verify.

You could try calling the Tippecanoe clerks office. She is very helpful. It is possible that she could read the book and page number even if the person transcribing it couldn't. Not sure where you looked, but I checked Genealogy.com for Tippecanoe marriages and everything but their names have ? question marks.

Give them a call (574-279-3107) and see if they keep the burial records for the cemetery and if not do they know who to contact. Another source is the White Co. Library in Monticello. They have indexed all the cemeteries in White Co. so you might take a look at the. I don't know if the Library has the row and lot numbers but they do have names, it might be worth a look. Also they have the local paper on microfiche, you might be able to come across an obit. if your relatives died in White Co. Monticello is the county seat so if you need marriage records head to the courthouse. I think the records go back to the 1850's. Also the health dept. in the courthouse has all the birth and death records. Just to let you know, I have relatives buried at Meadow Lake and the cemetery isn't all that big, so if you can't find anyone with records it doesn't take that long to walk thru the cemetery.

The position offered was a $75 per month and bids fair to be held at Mr. Smith’s disposal later. Rev. Wilbur has begun his revival services and will continue this week every night at 7:00 o’clock.
