At that time in 1899 Contra Costa was the center of government in the area. The McMahons were also the center of power and wealth. Walter told Margaret he was widowed. He was not widowed. He was married and had children back on the east coast. He ended up divorcing his wife and marrying Margaret. They left Martinez and went to San Francisco where Walter taught music.
