Divorces are not listed now, but in 1940 they were, as I somehow found a listing in one of the Seattle papers for a divorce filed in 1937, and granted in 1940. I don't remember how I did that, or if they were listed far enough back to help you. Not sure I'm any help to you on this one! And I'm too busy with other projects tonight to hunt. Other listers might be able to look for them, though. An interesting man, Arthur Hill! >>>>>>> >>>>>>> Doris >>>>>>> >>>>>>> On Mon, Mar 2, 2015 at 2:59 PM, Lars E.

These names do NOT figure in the list of licenses in King Co., WA, and I strongly suspect this has to be OUR couple. Harriet "Hattie"'s middle name was RUTH, and Kiner may be a "simplification" of Krugmire. Arthur's father's name was Andrew, so he could very well use "A" as a middle initial. >>>>>>>> >>>>>>>> What do you Listers think? >>>>>>>> >>>>>>>> This shows how fantastic the newspaper articles may sometimes be, and it gives inspiration to search for other items! >>>>>>>> >>>>>>>> Maybe there are similar DIVORCE COLUMNS in the newspaper archives?
