George Masters & Dorothy Hector WANTED

 George Masters was born in Centerville, IA according to his obituary, abt 1902, his father was Henry C. Masters.

I did not find a previous marriage for him but that doesn't mean he didn't have one.

Dorothy Hazel Hector born 22 Feb 1907 in Santa Barbara, CA to John Harrison Hector & Erma Hilton. She had 2 sisters and 4 brothers.

He and Dorothy did marry Apr of 1925 so obviously they had to marry a second time, which may be because of his first marriage not legally ended.

I found George & Dorothy's story so interesting, all I had to start with was their wanted poster and I research newspapers first, then I put a tree together on Ancestry and it all went together from there.

I did research Barcello's Garage where George worked but I couldn't find any photos.
