Marriage of John Lee and Virginia Beuhring Hawkins

Ancestry sent me a hint today for my Hawkins line that is very interesting.  It is the marriage record for John Lee Hawkins and Virginia Beuhring.  The record is found in the court records of Kenton County, Kentucky.  I saved it to my ancestry account, but I am not very good at that yet and it is on E.P. Hawkins' page rather than that of John Lee.

Kenton County is the county in which Covington is found. The record is found on pages 112-113.   The date of the marriage is 11 Dec 1884.  So Henry Harrison Miller would still have been alive and living in Covington.  Did they go to Covington to be married at Daisy's grandfather's home?  Was John Lee working their temporarily?  The record says that John Lee says that his residence is Huntington, so they are not living there at the time.  I think this is very fun!
