Logie Johnsey: The Woman With Four Husbands

While my research continues into the life of Logie Johnsey, the second wife of Chester, the details I have learned so far are more than enough to make me shake my head and question the woman.

Per records, Logie married Chester on September 20, 1920.  There is great significance in this year.  This is the year that Chester's first marriage to Esther will end, the same year that Esther will remarry, and also the same year that Chester apparently remarries as well.  Talk about question marks.  Chester goes from being married to Esther for 11 years to getting divorced and remarried the very same year.

While I question his reasons, I am even more interested to find out Logie's reasons.  She married Chester as Logie McHugh, the last name taken from her previous husband.  Whether this was by death or divorce, I am still researching, but my research so far has led me on a treasure hunts of dates of marriages to multiple men in a short amount of time.

So far, I have found the following marriages and dates:

1905  Robert James Corum
-->Based on her marriage record to Charles, she is listed as widowed which means she and Robert did not divorce.  When she married Charles, her last name was still Corum.  She and Robert had one child on record, a daughter, named Alva who shows up later in a census record during her marriage to John as a step daughter.

1914  Charles H. Brown

1919  John P. McHugh
-->based on census records, on January of 1920 she was still married to John and renting a house with him and her daughter Olivia Corum, from her first marriage, in Louisville, Kentucky.

1920  Chester Arthur Spragens

Here is an interesting fact, per the same census in January showing her married to John, she is listed as a machine operator.  Is this how she met Chester?  Chester had a history of working on machines.  This could very well be the connection between how they met.

I am still researching further to find if these men died at some point before her marriage to the next name on the list which would prove she was not simply divorcing and remarrying.  Perhaps she was an unlucky widow who married and then soon after lost her husband in some unfortunate manner.  I know for sure her marriage to Chester did not lead to his death, so I can not say with reason that all three men before Chester simply died.
