The index lists Norman B. Wood and Mae Chill marrying in Chicago in 1915, which fits the claimed couple, year and county. The bride's age fits 1892. The groom's age of 31 conflicts with 1889 by about 5 years, and the exact date of 16 June is not shown. The record is therefore consistent but thin, and the groom's identity needs a further record such as the image or the certificate.
Matches: Groom Norman B. Wood matches Norman Bentley Wood; Bride Mae Chill is a plausible variant of Meta Ida Amalia Chill; Bride's age 23 fits birth in 1892 (marriage in 1915); Place Chicago, Cook County, Illinois, and year 1915 match the claim
Flags: Groom's age 31 implies birth about 1884, not 1889 (difference of about 5 years); the citation already notes this and does not use it for birth; Bride given as "Mae" rather than Meta Ida Amalia, so the identification rests on the surname and the date
Limits: Index entry only; no image of the marriage record was read; Index excerpt gives only the year 1915, not the day and month, so 16 June is not confirmed; Chicago is within Cook County, but the index does not name a parish or church; The age discrepancy for the groom leaves some doubt that this is the same Norman Wood, and the record does not name parents or other details to settle it
