General Notes: Husband -
There is some evidence to suggest that Emerson's full birth name might have been John Emerson Wilson. He preferred to be known simply as "Emerson," though occasionally he signed his name as "Emerson J. Wilson." At the time of his second marriage to Clara Bennett, he used the name "John E. Wilson."
Emerson was married first to Clara Margaret Bennett at Portland, Oregon, on August 27, 1900. The marriage was performed by W. C. Bowman, Minister of The Gospel, and was recorded in Volume 13, page 255 of Multnomah County, Oregon's, marriage license registry. Erastus and Harriet Bennett, Clara's parents, signed as witnesses to the marriage, which apparently took place in the Tacoma House Hotel.
The couple lived mostly in Pacific County, Washington, primarily at Bay Center and South Bend, while Emerson followed in his father's footsteps in the oyster trade. One child, a daughter, was born to Clara and Emerson Wilson.
In 1906 the couple were granted a divorce decree by the Pacific County Court. The transcript is on record at the clerk's office in South Bend. In the Petition for Divorce, Emerson Wilson, as Plaintiff, alleged "...That defendant (Clara Bennett Wilson) is possessed of an ungovernable temper, and when in her enraged condition is exceedingly vicious and dangerous; that, on the 12th day of April 1903, without cause or provocation she became angry at plaintiff, cursed, abused, struck and threatened plaintiff's life..."
On January 29, 1907, Emerson Wilson married his second wife, Lizzie Emmons, at Portland, Oregon. The marriage was arranged through a Los Angeles-based "marriage bureau," and was of very short duration. In October 1907, Lizzie Emmons Wilson was granted a divorce from Emerson. She subsequently returned to California. These turnabouts were reported in the Pacific County newspapers.
On April 4, 1908, Emerson remarried his first wife, Clara Bennett Wilson, at Portland, Oregon. The ceremony was solemnized by Clarence T. Wilson, Minister of Centenary Methodist Episcopal Church in Portland, and is recorded in Volume 22, page 169 of Multnomah County's marriage license registry. At this wedding, Emerson was married under the name "John E. Wilson." Witnesses were Mrs. Mary Wilson (wife of the minister, Clarence Wilson, perhaps relatives of Emerson?), and Guy Raymond Crawford, son of Clara Bennett by her first husband, John Kelley Crawford.
Here ends the "formal" record of Emerson and Clara Wilson's stormy and tempestuous marital relationship. It appears that, through the years, they separated and reunited numerous times; however, there is no further evidence of additional divorces or remarriages, and they appear to have remained "legally" married until Clara's death in September 1941. It becomes clear that Emerson and Clara Wilson were temperamental and probably immature young people who were ill-suited to parenthood. The situation appears to have improved with time, because Emerson later went on to enjoy a stable career as a marine engineer with the Washington State Ferry system. In the early days, however, he seems to have been something of a roustabout.
Why Clara is identified as a "widow" on her death certificate is open to speculation. In fact, Emerson was very much alive and living with or near her when she passed away.

Emerson Wilson Prefers Marriage After Two Divorce Trials
After being twice married and twice divorced, Emerson Wilson has decided that he prefers marriage. He told Judge Frazer in the Juvenile Court yesterday afternoon that he intends to remarry his first wife, Clara, as soon as the six months prescribed by statute have elapsed. Wilson married his first wife, Clara, several years ago. About two years ago he secured a divorce.
Then Wilson married again. His second wife, Lizzie, secured a divorce in Judge Frazer's court last Friday. Mrs. Clara Wilson says Wilson secured Mrs. No. 2 through a matrimonial bureau, and that no wonder the second marriage was a failure. But Mrs. Lizzie Wilson secured a divorce because her husband was living on a scow with Mrs. Clara Wilson.
The couple was brought into the Juvenile Court yesterday afternoon because they had with them on a scow a 3-year old baby girl. Judge Frazer decided that the child was not in the proper surroundings and committed her temporarily to the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society. Later she will probably be sent to Wilson's mother in Washington.
A severe lecture from the Judge brought from Wilson the promise that he would stay away from the scow where his first divorced wife lives, but he declared that as soon as six months have passed from the day his second divorced wife secured her divorce he is going to marry his first divorced wife again.

Sarah's headstone reads "Sarah Barnard Mitchell". Makes sense since William
Barnard was her first husband. She's buried beside her Father in Law and I
don't know yet if her husband is buried there. Their son, John Wilson
Mitchell is my GGGrandfather. They followed the custom of picking up the
Maternal surname for the middle name. Any info I find out I'll be glad to
