From The Quincy Daily Whig, Friday, April 15, 1887; page 3:
MARRIED.
Harry M. McMein, of Quincy, 23, and Bella A. Parker, of Quincy, 22.
___________and, same source____________
A quiet but notable wedding took place last evening, the marriage of Miss Belle A. Parker to Mr. Harry M. McMein, night editor of THE WHIG. The wedding occurred at the residence of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Parker on East Hampshire street, at 8 o'clock, the Rev. G. E. Scrimger of the Trinity M. E. church officiating.
Only the relatives of the contracting parties were present. The bride is an accomplished lady, who has a wide circle of acquaintance in the city; the groom has been connected with THE WHIG for many years, and is regarded as one of the most competent and efficient writers in the editorial department of the paper.
His associates in the office will join heartily with a wide circle of friends and acquaintances in congratulating Mr. and Mrs. McMein on their marriage. They will be at home at 403 South Fourth street.

Additional information:
Mrs. McMein was the daughter of John William and Margaret Parker, according to her NY Municipal Death listing, cn 9205. The document contains other errata, so consider it a starting point in your own research. For instance, Mrs. McMein's mother's maiden name is given incorrectly as "Druwell." It was Dimmick; Mrs. McMein's maternal grandfather was Ebenezer Dimmick, who founded Pleasant View, Illinois. (Source: Mrs. Margaret Dimmick Parker's obituaries; and county history books.)
Census listings varied wildly on Mrs. McMein's maiden, first and middle name or initials, nearly every one was different. The same was true of her or her parents' birth states. When in doubt, I have used only those things which are consistent.
Other information:
The Quincy Daily Journal's Wednesday, 28 March 1923 edition ran a funeral notice on page 3 for Mrs. Harry M. McMein.
The notice gave her death as having taken place in New York, the prior Saturday (March 24, 1923.)
According to a transcription of her death certificate, Mrs. McMein died in Manhattan, New York, but whether city or county is unclear.
A second funeral notice referred to the decedent as "Mrs. Belle Parker McMein." (30 March 1923, The Quincy Daily Herald.) Her husband's will referred to her as "Bella P. McMein" for Bella (Parker) McMein. (The document was signed in that same way.)
She was buried at Woodland cemetery in Quincy, Illinois.
Her daughter was Miss Marjorie or "Neysa" McMein, a celebrated artist and illustrator. A November, 1918 article mentioned that Mrs. McMein was going to live with Miss McMein in New York state, and that her daughter had hired a trained nurse, from Quincy, to care for her at home.
Neysa McMein was also a sometime model and entertainer. Her family may be interested in this snippet:
"The Chicago Tribune of this morning has a beautiful four column picture of Miss Marjorie McMein, the talented daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry McMein. The Quincy girl is posed as "The Spirit of the Roses" in connection with the rose exposition at the Chicago Art Institute." - printed 26 March 1908 in the Quincy Daily Herald newspaper.
