1885 newspapers L'Ange Gardien and Chateau Richer?

Were there any newspapers that would have run a wedding announcement? Both of my Great Grandparents were born in the area and both relocated to Chicago as children.

We were told they were married Aug 25 1885 at Notre Dame de Chicago. We have searched the films at the archdiocese office and found the baptism's for all their children but no marriage record. Also no record for the marriage license in Illinois records either.

I thought since they were both originaly from the same area (and families go back over 200 years there) that there might have been a marriage announcement back home.

Any help is appreciated

Joseph Edward Mathieu married Cecilia Laberge
possibly Aug 25 1885

There is probably no newspaper from that area. Too close to Quebec city.

In those years, weddings were announced during the sermons of the sunday mass.
Some parishes have records of those announcements. I think you could contact the parish to see if they kept those records... I found valuable info. in those records for my genealogy!
