The obituary transcription says Norman B. Wood married the former Mae Chill of Chicago in that city in 1915. This fits the claimed marriage year and place (Chicago lies in Cook County) and the spouse's surname. The exact date of 16 June and the full name Meta Ida Amalia cannot be confirmed from this source.
Matches: Obituary of Norman B. Wood names wife as the former Mae Chill of Chicago, matching Meta Ida Amalia Chill; Says they married in Chicago in 1915, matching the claimed year and Cook County, Illinois (Chicago is in Cook County); Birth in 1889 matches the claimed birth year of 1889
Limits: Obituary gives only the year 1915, not the date 16 June 1915; Place is given as Chicago, not Cook County; the county is inferred; Wife is called 'Mae' (a nickname for Meta), not her full name; Text transcription only; no image of the newspaper page; Obituary is secondary evidence for the marriage, written decades later; Birthplace is given inconsistently (Richfield vs Ridgefield, NJ), which does not bear on this claim
