Description: My Great Uncle; Henry Arthur “Art” Pratt had the distinction of marrying two extraordinary women, who between themselves had 10 husbands.
His first wife; Hazel Belle (COZIAH) was married 5 times before her marriage to Art Pratt. Born in Idaho, Hazel in her short 61 years traveled all over the country. Art’s second wife; Beulah Trassy (COFFMAN) born in Missouri married 4 times before Art Pratt and once more before her death. Each of these women outlived all their husbands except Art outlived Hazel. This is their story.
Notes: This is the story of how I unraveled the wives of my Great Uncle; Henry Arthur "Art" Pratt (C2G) born 3 January 1902 in Bourbon, Boone Township, Crawford County, Missouri, United States. Son of Henry Winslow "Win" (C2G) & Mary Laura Magdalene (MISSEY) (C2G) Pratt; Arthur married 1st Hazel Belle (COZIAH) (C2G) Darnell, Schwartz, Bellamy, Vail and Stall. Hazel as you can see was married 6 times before her death in 1959. Henry Arthur married 2nd Beulah Trassy (COFFMAN) (C2G) Beauton, Spoel, Cross and Arthur Pratt was her 4th husband and Beulah married once more to Clifford David James before her death in 1984. This multi-page article delves into my research and discovery of the husbands of these wives and looks into the circumstances bringing about such extraordinary matrimonial exploits. Based on my 2008 research and revised in 2013 with what was available to me at that time, I try to give the researcher a road map to follow and extrapolate "newly" discovered research material concerning these families. Many will find the information extraordinary and will be astounded as to the research process. When I began researching these individuals back in 2008, others had very little information to contribute. In my opinion, these extraordinary women’s story was made for a Hollywood movie.
