Via #47505614 - There are two separate records that are available on both Familysearch and Ancestry that show that Alta's maiden name was Alta Hartwell Meader. They are both birth records for her son, George Hartwell Doherty, and they show her name as Alta Hartwell Meader and her husband's name as Bernhard Doherty. These records were made in Lacrosse, Wisconsin on 23 Jan 1892. FHL film number 1,302,882. It also may be possible that her birth maiden name was Hartwell and that she was adopted later by a Meader, however, most women don't list their maiden names incorrectly when completing birth records. I did more digging and found that the information on the Washington death record was close to correct. Alta Theresa Hartwell was first married to James L "Jim" Meader and had a daughter, Marcella Ada Meader with him before she went on to marry Mr. Doherty. Her parents were Joseph Miles Hartwell and Honora Hyde. Alta was really born about 1862 as she is listed in the 1870 census. Her daughter Marcella Ada Meader was born 2 Dec 1882 in Minnesota. Alta later fudges her own age on the younger side in other records.
