I could not find a civil marriage record for Ben & Laura in the pre 1907 marriage index. I noticed your? family tree on ancestry.com, and see that Laura was born in Melrose, Jackson County. If Laura was still living there when she and Ben married, then a church marriage record may be in that county, mainly Melrose, or some bigger city nearby. If you can't get any help with the churches in either place, maybe the church records are at the Diocese that handles La Crosse & Jackson Counties. It looks like there is a Diocese of La Crosse. For example, church records for Outagamie, Brown, Kewaunee counties, and a few more, are located at the Diocese of Green Bay.
