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, IL.^{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.)

• John William Stobbart and Almira Hazel Wilson was divorced on 7 August 1920 in Pueblo, CO. ¹⁴
Name: Hazel Markert Stobbart
Event Type: Divorce

Event Place: Pueblo, Colorado, United States
Marriage Date: 27 Oct 1894
Marriage Year: 1894
Spouse's Name: William Stobbart
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.
