Mary was the widow of James Oliver Linn & they had a son, James Alva Linn, who died in WW1. The son is buried next to her at Mountain Zion Cemetery in Estacada, OR. She and MPV were married at the home of Rev. George H Roach with Rosa E. Hertig and Richard Palmateer as witnesses. The family called her "Aunt Verb".
Mary married James Oliver Linn (1860-1931) on 22 Dec 1892 in Clackamas Co., Oregon. Their son, James Alva Linn (1896-1919) died in Washington DC, from combat wounds incurred in France just prior to the end of World War I. Mary divorced James Linn and about 1909 married George H Carter (1875-?) and that marriage ended in divorce prior to 1921.
Found this on Ancestry.com - Thought it could be your James because of the note at the bottom about "Alvie" dying from combat wounds and his wife is listed as Mary Louverbia Palmateer. His birth is listed as 14 Oct 1860 Mt. Sterling, Brown, Illinois - Marriage 22 Dec 1892 Clackamas County Oregon - 24 Oct 1931 Clackamas County Oregon. (Shirley Pokorny, ggmashirley@@gmail.com)
James O. Linn, the first of Philip E. Linn and his second wife, Christina ("Tena") Long, was a farmer and blacksmith. He inherited the north one-third part of his father's 200 acre farm, including all the buildings, and continued to operate it until his health failed when he was still only of middle age. He spent the remainging twenty-five years, or there-abouts, of his life in a hospital and health institution. Besides his farming activities, his real occupation was that of a blacksmith and he was referred to as 'the village Smithy of Currinsville'. But his reputation as a mechanic extended much further and he was known throughout the eastern half of Clackamas County. In fact, few blacksmiths in the entire Pacific Northwest exceeded his skill. It has been said that if anything required being made of iron, "Jim" Linn could have made it. By tradition we learned that he made at least two or three hunting rifles, complete. He took square iron rods, heated and hammered them into octagonal shape, drilled holes through them lengthwise, and even put 'rifles' in the barrels. He made the gun stocks from will-seasoned walnut and after mounting the barrels the finished product was said to be the equal in looks and shooting accuracy of any store purchased gun. James was a tall, robust man who always wore a heavy black mustache. He seemed to be of a different 'breed' than the rest of the Linn family, at least in some respects. He was even more of an intravert than they; cared nothing for the social life; and was a little grugg and surly at times. But this may have been because his worst enemy was alcohol. His personal habits did not conform to the religious beliefs of his brothers and sisters.
Little is know about Alvin Linn, or 'Alvie' as he was most generally called. Most of his childhood and youth was spent away from his Linn relatives. But he is still remembered by a few as a bright, well-mannered boy. He died from combat wounds incurred in France just prior to the end of World War I.

LOCAL SOLDIER DIES IN COUNTRY'S SERVICE: Alva Linn, Former Estacada Boy, Dies in Washington Hospital. An official telegram fro the war department received by Mrs. Mary L. Carter of Fairview, formerly Mr. James O. Linn of Estacada, announced the death on March 29th, at a Washington, D. C. hospital, of her only son, James Alva Linn, member of the 37th Engineers corps of Ft. Myers, Virginia. Aside form the brief official communication from the war department, no details of his heath have been received, excepting that the remains are being shipped home for burial. Whether the death was the result of accident or from natural causes will not be know for a few days. The present plans made by the family are for funeral services to be held at the Estacada M. E. Church on Sunday at two o'clock, with interment at the Mt. Zion Cemetery in Garfield. The deceased, who was 22 years old, was an only child and a grandson of Garfield's pioneer, R. G. Palmateer. He was familiarly known among his many relatives in this community as "Alvie" Linn, and at one time attended the Estacada schools. The sympathy of this community is extended the grief stricken mother and sorrowing relatives, and may that sorrow always be lessened by the knowledge that their soldier boy gave his life for his country's service.
