It does seem possible that the couple actually married across the state line in Walla Walla, Washington. Still, even a Umatilla County marriage might have been noted in a Walla Walla newspaper, and I think you might be able to get microfilm copies of the Walla Walla Statesman for July 1882 through inter-library loan. You should be able to get a copy of the marriage record from Umatilla County, though unfortunately it may not tell you any more about Charles M. Lindsey than is in the Marriage Index. But if a church minister performed the marriage, perhaps you could find church records. In the 1880 census, Maria (Widow) and Parthena Quimby (Berthena in the census) were living in Buttesville, Marion County, Oregon. Page 74B.
