Georgia, No, Samuel Howard Sellers didn't divorce Clara. Clara May (Bruce) SELLERS, daughter of Richard and Judith Amelia (Keith) BRUCE, died on May 16, 1913. It is assumed that since both of Clara's parents were born in Kentucky that she was as well. Thus, neither of the Census records from 1920s for the two "Clara Sellers" are for her. The fact that Clara was born May 1, 1864, which would have made her age 56 for the 1920 Census, also shows that these two Census records aren't for her.

Too much scandal back then. I cannot find Samuel Howard Sellers in 1920 or 1930 census records. Perhaps Marie can find them.

Great info! Good to know exactly where they were at that time. Hopefully it will help me locate where they ended up. You don't happen to have any Census info for Samuel Howard Sellers and his two wives, Clara M. Bruce and Fanny Gulton, in South Dakota do you? Just curious and thought I'd ask.

My Great Great Grandparents, Jerome Howard Brown Sellers (14 Nov. 1825 - 27 Feb. 1910) and Margaret R. Bell (2 Nov. 1832 - 17 June 1907) were both born in Augusta County, Virginia and had 14 children. Three of the children left Virginia and moved to the midwest. Samuel Howard Sellers (17 Feb. 1865 - 2 Aug. 1940) married (1) Clara M. Bruce and (2) Fannie Gulton and lived in South Dakota. Samuel and Clara had 6 children that settled in Mt. Vernon, Madison, Hot Springs, and Yankton, South Dakota and Clarenson, Illinois. John Newton Sellers (13 Jan. 1869 - 7 Aug. 1945) married Gertrude Lowell and lived in Iowa. John and Gertrude had at least two children, and they settled in and around Emmettsburg, Iowa. William Arthur Sellers (6 Mar. 1870 - Feb. 1935) married Ida Harrell. I don't have a record of any children nor where exactly that William Arthur Sellers and Ida Harrell settled in Iowa. Travelling in 1981 with my grandfather Whitfield T. Sellers, who's father George W. Sellers was a brother to the three sons listed above, I had the pleasure of meeting most of the offspring of these sons. I'd love to hear from anyone who might be a descendant of these sons. I have quite a bit of info on the offspring of these sons of Jerome H.B. and Margaret R. Bell Sellers but not much info on the final resting place of the sons nor really anything about their life.
