Events in My Family Tree: November 7

I never noticed until today that Elmer and Laura were married on Elmer's birthday.  I wonder if that was done as a gesture to him because he was taking on the responsibility of helping her raise the 7-month-old son (my grandfather) she came to the marriage with.
