I’m Searching for a Marriage between ?McCoy and Josephine Marie Hauser-Hessey She appears as Marie Josephine McCoy on her sons Robert Dickson Hessey World War One Draft Reg. She divorced Her first Husband Gerard Grant Hessey after 1910 she lived in Tacoma,Pierce County,Washington by 1918 and is married again to a ? McCoy but on the 1920 census she is listed as a Widow still living in Tacoma.Pierce co,Washington I have searched the Washington State Digital Archives she’s only listed with her first husband. No records after the 1930 census she is still living in tacoma,washington by herself I cant even find a death record for her I’m not even sure she is still in Washington I need help I’m stuck.
Josephine Marie Hauser of Marie Josephine Houser was born 1874 in Alton,Illinois
Grannytoad Frank McCoy is actually Frank Hessey apparantly her second husband adopted him and no its not him in Prison his father was born in Iowa and his mother in Illinois. But thanks for the Info.
Not sure if this will help much, but I think I found her death record in the Washington Death Index (1940-1996):
Marie McCoy, died 8 May 1944, age 72, Tacoma, cert # 718
You might consider contacting the Pierce County Genealogical Society to see if they can help you find the official marriage record:

Incidentally, my g-g-grandmother was a Houser: Sarah Catherine (1863-1925) born in DeKalb Co., Indiana, daughter of Adam. Most Houser/Hausers came from Pennsylvania. Bet we have a connection somewhere.
1920 Tacoma Ward 2, Pierce, Washington;
Roll: T625_1936; Page: 2B; Enumeration District: 267; Image: 838

Marie J Mc Coy 47 wid IL US US
Frank H Mc Coy 15 son WA IA IL
What became of Frank? Who were parents on his death certificate, or birth if you can find it? Maybe Marie remarried, or who knows, maybe they went to Canada.
oops it looks like 1930 a Frank the right age born WA KS KY was a prisoner at Imperial State Farm at Ft Bend Co, TX.
