NOTE - Given that her reported age on this census was about 10 years too young, this would seem to be the wrong person. However, the birth locations of her parents are a match and the biggest proof is that she was living next door to a then married Vern C. Cutler and his family. She would later marry Vern Cutler in 1920 when her divorce from John Stobbart became final.

Almira married Markert before 1886. (Markert was born in 1865 and died in 1894.)

  Marriage Notes:

Their son, Edwin John Markert, appears on the 1920 US Census in Pueblo, CO with his mother, Almira, living with his family. That census provides a birth year of 1886 for Edwin which means Almira and her husband, were married "before 1886". No record of the marriage has yet been found and it is not known if it occurred in Iowa or Missouri although Edwin was born in Clark County, Missouri.

At least one researcher provides a death date for the husband of 1894 but provides no source citations. Almira was remarried in Oct 1894 in Illinois to John William Stobbart.
---------------------------

Almira next married John William Stobbart, son of William Stobbart and Mary E. Pierson, on 18 October 1894 in Oquawka, Henderson, Illinois, United States.^{1 2} (John William Stobbart was born in 1857 in Maesbury, Shropshire, England ^{1 11 12 13}, baptized on 28 April 1861 in Neath, Glamorgan, Wales and died after 1 April 1940.)

Court Docket Number: 13231
--------------------------------

Almira was the plaintiff in this divorce proceeding. What is interesting about this divorce record is that it says "Wife's Mainden Name if resumed under decree: Hazel Markart". For some reason, she did not want to use her actual maiden name of Wilson and preferred the married name from her first husband, Markart. By this time in her life, she also preferred the given name of Hazel instead of Almira.

The marriage record book shows Almira's name was entered with her maiden name of Wilson even though she indicated that this was to be her 2nd marriage. It appears that her first husband, Markert, died sometime in 1894 and Almira was remarried to John Stobbart in October 1894.
