- After matching dates, one must conclude that the reason Blanche and Earl separated and subsequently divorced is due to his relationship with Anna. Blanche and Earl married in May 1908, and their son Earl was born later that year. By Apr 1910, Blanche and son Earl lived as boarders, perhaps with friends. Although the elder Earl was no longer around, Blanche still claimed her status as married. Perhaps this was just denial on her part and the couple really had divorced. Or perhapsthey were still legally married even though Earl was in a relationship with Anna. In May 1910, Earl is found livingwith his parents in MT and claims himselfto be divorced. The following Dec 1910, Earl and Anna's son Easton wasborn in MT. Inabout Sep 1918, Earl and Anna had a daughter, Phyllis, born in MT. By Jan 1920, Earl, Anna, and their two children were living in UT. Apparently Blanche and Earl really did divorce at some point because she also remarried, in about 1912, toEdward. In Jan 1918, Blanche and Edward had a son Joseph. By 1923, Blanche, Edward, and Joseph had moved to OR, while son Earl remained in MT. In fact, after the 1910 Census, Blanche was never again notably connected with her son Earl. Perhapshe reminded her too much of his father and she avoided him. In any case, after 1910, young Earl seems to have been taken in and raised by hismaternal grandmother.
Note from Judy : Portland did an extensive street renaming and renumbering in 1931-1933. I'm fairly sure that the Mahoney's 1930 address of 769 SE Caruthers was renumbered as 2307 SE Caruthers, whichis the addresslisted for them in the directoriesIreviewed.

From Julie Re via message board on 16 Feb 2010: I have some pictures that my husband's granny took of the grave sites in Butte Montana of the 2 young children Edward and John. And a picture of Blanche with my mother-in-law in yellowstone in the 50s. I also have an old bible of P. Mahoney that has a section to write births, deaths, and marriages in. It is a little confusing, as it looks like different people have written dates in it over the years going way back to the 1850s. Hopefully I willbe able to view your tree. I am curious to see what other info you have and how we are related.

Bio from Facebook on 06 Jun 2010:
06 Jun 1888 -- Born in Glendale, Montana, Blanche B. ARBOUR was the eldest of 3 children of shoemaker, clothing store owner, and miner Louis-Joseph-"Alfred" ARBOUR and Ida A. TERRY. Just prior to her20th birthday,Blanche married 20-year oldEarl Matt CLARIDGE on 08 May 1908 in Rochester, MT. Their son, Earl V. CLARIDGE, was born later that year. Arranged in haste, theirs was not a marriage meant to last. By April 1910, thecouple had separated. By May 1910, they had apparently divorced. Afterfurther comparing of dates, one must conclude that the reason Blanche and Earl separated and subsequently divorced is due to his relationshipwith Anna. Blanche and Earl married in May 1908, and Earl was born later that year. By April 1910, Blanche and son Earl lived as boarders, perhaps with friends. Although the elder Earl was no longer around, Blanche still claimed her status as married. Perhaps this was just denial onher part and the couple really had divorced. Or perhaps they were still legally married even though Earl was in a relationship with Anna. In May 1910, the elder Earl was found living with his parents in MT and claimed himself to be divorced. The following December 1910, Earl and Anna's son Easton was born in MT. InaboutSeptember 1918, Earl and Anna had a daughter, Phyllis, born in MT. By January 1920, Earl, Anna, and their two children were living in Utah. ApparentlyBlanche and Earl really did divorce at some point because she also remarried, in about 1912,to Edward L. MAHONEY Jr. Over the next 5 years, Blanche and Edward had 3 sons, although 2 died while very young. Between January 1920 and 1923, Blanche, Edward, and son Joseph moved to Oregon, while herson Earl remained in MT. In fact, after the 1910 Census, Blanche was never again notably connected withher son Earl. Perhaps he reminded her too much of hisfather and she avoided him. In any case, after 1910, young Earl seems to have been taken in and raised by his maternal grandmother. Edward workedfor years in the meat-packing industry, both in MT and OR. He retired in 1955 as Vice President of Northwestern Ice & Cold Storage Co. Seventy-year old Edward died in Portland, OR, on17 March 1958. Blanche was86-years old when she died inPortlandon 08 November 1974. Both of them were buried in Riverview Abbey Mausoleum in Portland. Blanche's obituary claims that she had 3 grandchildren and 12great-grandchildren, although we know virtually nothing of them.She had 3 children with Mahoney
