  1945 - Alice May Hute passes away Aug 9, 1945, based on SS Application and Claims Index under the name Alice May Hute.  There is a date of Mar 18, 1977 where the record says her name was Alice May Hute.... on this date.  Which means someone was checking on this record for some reason.  There may have also been something edited.  There is no other information.  I looked for a death record in either Ohio or WV with no luck. For Ohio, 1945 is one of the un-indexed years, when it comes to death records. I also looked for burial records for Alice under Smith and Hute with no luck.

What is odd is that husband Frank Hute married again Mar 17, 1945.  On his marriage license he says he has no wife living.  So was Alice and Frank Hut divorced and then she died?  Or did Alice die while they were married?  This would mean she may have died before Frank married again? 

In the 1950 Census, children Marie and Jerry are now living with their father.

Betty Goldie Smith
  Of note about this Betty Goldie Smith---- SHE DID NOT MARRY Anthony J Pierkowski.  Someone on Ancestry has mixed up Goldie F Smith b. Nov 28, 1919 - d. Oct 8, 1986 with this Betty and everyone has copied this information over-and-over again so that it keeps coming up in the "hints".

Don't believe me?  Look at Betty's SSDI entry.  Same birth date as the birth record below AND all three marriages licenses........October 26.

  From this date on, there is only one time where Betty's middle name of Goldie appears in the historical records.  This is on the WWII Registration for husband Joseph Haas where he provides the name Betty Goldie Haas as his contact person.  After this, only the name Betty appears in the records.

  1945 - 1950 - Divorces Albert A Bons, Sep 9, 1950 OR another spouse based on marriage license below.  Based on Albert's Bons' frequent marriage history, it is unlikely that Betty stayed with Albert for 5 years.  She may have divorced Albert quickly and married someone else or spent 5 years trying to find him in Illinois to end the marriage.  When she finally marries William Cook, she is using her maiden name of Smith.
  1950 - Census - Unable to locate Betty with 100% certainty. There is a Betty Smith, 30 years, born WV living in Ravenna, Portage Co., OH,  as a boarder in the home of James Real.  However, the marital status given was "never married".  This may very well be Betty and she just chose not to tell her landlord her private business

  Grave marker has beloved mother on it.  As far as I could tell, Marie did not have any children.  In the 1950 Census there are no children with her.  On the divorce record with Howard Kendzora, it says no dependent children.  May have just been a generic marker engraver with her name added.
