----------------------------------

Bert Sharp and Mary Ann Huett were probably undergoing or contemplating a divorce around 1900 because she appears in the 1900 US Census living back home with her parents with her marital status marked as widowed. At the same time, Bert appeared in the 1900 US Census in Saint Joseph, Missouri living alone but his marital status was given as married for three years.

While Bert was living in Missouri, their divorce must have become final because Bert was remarried to Olive B. Mozingo of Nodaway County, Missouri. Bert and his second wife move back to Fort Madison, Iowa where they both appear in the 1910 US Census.

The 1930 US Census shows that Bert and his second wife had moved to Dickson, Arkansas. That wife either died or they were soon divorced and in 1936 Bert was remarried to his third wife, Amy May Benward, in Benton County, Arkansas.
