This is an amazing find from Washington's Digital Archives. Here it is: Lillie (Lillian Mae) Ramsay's marriage license to Charles 'Charlie' Amasa Galloway, dated March 11, 1903. They were living in Wauconda, WA and the license was issued before the Justice of the Peace in Republic, WA. Lillie was only 16. Charles was 21. Their marriage did not last and by Sept. 1907 Lillie was married to William Fee. We find Charles married to his second wife, Grace, in the 1910 US Census living in Republic, Wa. Elsie Galloway was born (along with a sister Effie) to Charles and Lillie. Elsie would be raised mostly by her father's family, before marrying Maurice Lake Hamilton in Okanogan, WA in 1920. The marriage certificate confirms the spelling and middle names and maiden names of Lillie's parents and Charles' parents. The document also confirms that Lillie was born in Marion in Pierce, County, Washington in 1887. Lillies' parent and older siblings are enurmerated in the Puyallup Valley in the 1880 Federal Cenus for Washington. They had come to Washington from Cherokee, County, Kansas where they appeared in the 1870 Census.
