Jessie E. Woodhurst was born in 1890 to parents Earl George (1) Woodhurst and his wife Nellie B. Worst. Descendants cite her birthdate as October 9th 1890.
The US 1900 Census finds her at age 9 living with her parents in Pennfield township, Calhoun County in Michigan. It describes her as born in Michigan in October 1890.
Descendants report the following: around 1906 she married E. Brewer, probably in Saginaw, Michigan; they produced a son Paul Elmer Brewer who was born in Saginaw on March 11th 1908.
By mid-1910 this marriage had ended in divorce.
The US 1910 Census finds her at age 19 living with her child Paul Elmer and brother Ira E. in North Granger Street, Saginaw City in the household of Frank Stevens, her mother's second husband. The record describes her as divorced. Frank is cited as aged 39 and born in Missouri of parents who were both born in Michigan; his employment field is hard to read but appears to say timber contractor.
Descendants report that Jessie later remarried to Hans L. Halverson - born in about 1890 of a Norwegian father - by whom she bore a daughter Nellie around 1915. In fact she married Hans around late 1913 as indicated by the following notice in an issue of The Star Mirror published on October 9th 1913:
At the office of the auditor and recorder marriage licenses were issued to Hans Halverson and Jessie Woodhurst, both of Moscow, and to Robert A. Koppe of Chewelah, Wn., and Lottie Amelia Ramseier of Moscow.
Nothing more is currently known of her.
