The index lists the groom as Norman B. Wood and the bride as Mae Chill, with date 06-16-1915 in Cook County. Surname, initial and date all fit the claim. The bride's given name is a shortened or variant form, and the index carries no further identifiers. The entry is therefore consistent but not explicit proof of the full names.
Matches: Groom indexed as Wood, Norman B, which fits Norman Bentley Wood; Bride indexed as Chill, Mae, plausibly a variant of Meta Ida Amalia Chill; Date 06-16-1915 matches the claimed 16 June 1915; Cook County marriage index, so the place matches Cook County, Illinois
Limits: Index entry only; no image of the record or license was examined; Bride's given name is 'Mae' rather than Meta Ida Amalia, so identification rests on the surname and the groom's name; Index gives no ages, parents or residences to confirm that these are the right individuals; The index date may be the license date rather than the ceremony date; Groom's middle name is given only as the initial B
