The details here indicate the Mary's first married name was McClain,and her first husband was born in Illinois, like G A Maddox. State ofbirth data, as well as their age, tells us that Georgia, John andOllie are Bertha's children.

We can also tell that both George and Mary were in Missouri when theirspouses died and when they married. George's two daughters Bertha andIva were born in Missouri, as were Mary's two daughters and their nextchild together, Gerogia. Between 1904 and 1907 they moved toArkansas, where John and later Ollie was born. George and hisprevious wife had been living in Arkansas for the birth of theirdaughter Lula in 1891, then moved to Missouri before the birth ofBertha in 1894.

With this information I found Mary and her previous husband, JamesMcClain, with their first daughter Cara (Carey in 1910), in Missouri,where they were enumerated in Richland Township of Stoddard County.
