Dear Mark, Barbara, Greg and other listers! "What a wonderful world - and list..." Thanks a million, Mark, for having discovered the "secret" behind Mathilda's 3rd marriage! It is just amazing what these newspaper columns may include of information, as long as it's possible to search for names in them! Thanks also to Barbara and Greg for further comments! If it wasn't for Ellsworth being of German background, I would have thought they were Ole and Lena arguing in that divorce procedure from Portland...!! Looking around a little bit, I see that Emery Elsworth Webber on his WW1 draft says he was born Oct. 4, 1875, and he was then indeed working in the ship yards!!! The 1880 census for Rice Co., MN gives his father's name as Conrad Weber, and the family obviously got around! In 1900 they were in Grand Forks, ND, but the children born between 1887 and 1896 were born in Washington! Then by 1910 Conrad had died, and his wife had moved to Portland OR! Now that the "Ellsworth" part of this problem has been solved, I hope it may also be possible to find Mathilda's 4th marriage to John W. Anderson? They must have been married in the fall of 1919, between Portland, OR and Seattle, WA? Thanks again, Mark for once more making my day! Very sincerely yours, Lars E.
