Jackie - I checked the Owen Co Marriage WPA Index... except that instead of
page 98 which you asked about, I searched for marriages of Furry which led
me to page 178. Page 98 is indexed for Martha Collins. Page 178 is the
index for Furry.

There I found 2 marriages for Solomon Furry.
Solomon Furry Martha A Collins October 18, 1872 listed in Book 30,
Page 222
Solomon Furry Sarah E Hon Aug 15, 1872 listed in Book 31 page
36.

This could either signify a second marriage of Solomon or that there are two
different Solomons who married within 4 years of each other. The only way
to really verify this is to find Solomon in the 1910 census where the number
of marriages is part of the census or the 1920 census where the question was
"at what age where you first married?"

Solomon is not in the 1870 census of Isaac Furry which means that he was out
on his own. I took a quick look at the neighbors of Isaac in 1870, but did
not find him. You will need to get to a census index to see if he is listed
somewhere nearby.
