Barton C. Bridgham and Alberta Clyde, both of Boise.

On Sept. 13, 1906, Alberta Clyde married Barton C. Bridgham in Boise, Ada, Idaho.

The 1910 census states that Alberta Bridgham was Barton's "companion" and was an "invalid person." It also says that this was the first marriage for each (which says that Alberta Ackley didn't marry a Mr. Clyde before marrying Barton).

From the "Seattle Daily Times," March 12, 1911, p. 9,

Suits for divorce have also been filed ... by Barton C. Bridgham against Alberta C. Bridgham, desertion; ...

From the "Seattle Daily Times," Seattle, Washington, May 26, 1911, p. 11,

Judge John D. Hinkle ... granted default divorces to ... Barton C. Bridgham from Alberta C. Bridgham, ...

From "The Glasgow Courier, MT, May 17, 1918, p. 4,

A license to marry was issued Friday [May 10] to Simeon P. Graham, 57, of Glasgow and Alberta E. Bridgham, 40, also of Glasgow.

[This is a different Alberta Bridgham.]

Alberta E. Bridgham remarried to Simeon Graham on May 10, 1918 in Glasgow, Montana (Montana, County Marriages). She was born in Maine. Her father was Curtis A. Ackley. This is a different Alberta Bridgham.

[In 1920, Alberta E. Graham, b. abt 1876 in ME (parents b. Scotland), lived in West Point, Butler, Iowa with 54yo husband Simen Graham, and his two stepchildren (her children?) 7yo Thelma C. and Clayton C. Graham. Given that she divorced Barton Bridgham in 1911, these aren't Barton's children. Is it the same Alberta? No,]
