Marx CLAUSSEN married 21 March 1896
Ella WHITE in Springfield, Missouri. They were
divorced 17 September 1903. He was the innocent
and injured party, entitled to the relief prayed for in
his divorce petition. He married again abt 6 weeks
later to a lady who had also been married previously.
Marx CLAUSSEN b 1877 of Ozark, Christian Co,
Missouri married 3 Nov 1903 in Christian Co, MO
Emma FIELDS b 24 Oct 1871 in Lawrence Co, OH
[the twin sister of Elizabeth FIELDS]. Apparently it was
the second marriage for both Marx & Emma and I don't
think this marriage lasted very long. Emma came from a
large family. Her parents had a homestead and they
and her brothers and sisters all lived in the Christian County,
Missouri area.
Emma FIELDS had 1st been married est 1887? in MO
to Jack MELODY and had a son, Leonard MELODY.
Marx CLAUSSEN b 1877 was buried 4 Dec 1954 in
Maple Park Cemetery in Springfield, Greene Co, MO
in the same lot with his sister-in-law and her husband-
Maggie FIELDS LARKINS b 1881 d 2 Apr 1951
& T. J. ("Jeff"/ Thomas Jefferson?) LARKINS b 1883
buried 5 Oct 1973.
Marx's wife, Emma FIELDS CLAUSSEN must have
married Thomas A. BUCK sometime before 1918.
Their names are together on the same tombstone in
Forest Park Cemetery in Joplin, Jasper Co, Missouri.
Emma FIELDS BUCK 1869-1950 and Thomas A. BUCK
1849-1918 on the same stone. They are buried in the
same lot as Emma's brother and his wife,
Charles Henry Fields 1878-1921 and Doshia Fields 1874-1949.
Apparently Emma F. CLAUSSEN BUCK outlived her
3rd husband by more than 30 years.
Please write about any of the above. Thanks!
