Why do people do what they do?

     Thanks to the Mormons and FamilySearch, I found the date of the marriage of Eliza Frances Burns.  She was the daughter of the immigrant generation--Timothy Burns and Eliza Barry.
     On her marriage license, it says that she was from Ramsey County.  She was married in Ramsey County and not at St. Thomas.
     On the record it also says she was married by an Episcopal priest.  Now that is surprising! Perhaps that is why the marriage was performed in St. Paul.  Did some relatives attend?  I couldn't find an account of it in the newspapers.
     After her marriage she lived in Chicago. She died there in 1904.
