Narrative:

     Almarie Ernestine Peel was born on 9 May 1903 in Illinois.8,9,10
     She appeared on the 1910 Federal Census of Sangamon Twp., Piatt Co., Illinois, in the household of her parents, Dr. Charles E. Peel and Rose Ann Wearren.4
     Almarie married first Francis Blair McLin, son of William Richard McLin and Ella Thompson, on 21 Dec 1919 in Aroma Park, Illinois, with Albert Akley Belyea officiating.11,12
     Almarie and Francis appeared on the 1920 Federal Census of Concord Twp., Iroquois Co., Illinois, in the household of her parents.5
     She was an organist at the Princess Theater in Urbana at the time of her second marriage.26
     Almarie and Francis were divorced, or perhaps their marriage was annulled, by 1924 as she remarried in June of that year, using her maiden name. No record of either has been found.13

A Second Marriage --- Text Stolen from ReigelRidge.com !! ---


     Almarie married second Walter Adam Schuck, son of George W. Schuck and Katie Elizabeth Oetzel, on 7 Jun 1924 in Urbana, Champaign Co., Illinois, at the parsonage of the First Christian Church, with Rev. E. A. Watkins officiating.14,15,16
     Almarie and Walter were living at 405 E. California Ave., Urbana, in 1927.27 They then moved in with his parents, at 306 S. Vine, in Urbana, where they are listed in the 1928 city directory.28
     She was listed as a musician at the Princess Theatre in the 1928 Urbana city directory.28 She was an organist and blues singer, performing in night clubs and on the radio.29 She adopted the name Billie as her stage name.30,31
     According to family oral history Walter and Almarie where engaged in custody litigation in connection with divorce proceedings when their daughter was about two years old, with him seeking custody and her not wanting it. No record has been found of a divorce filing at that time. It seems likely this actually happened some years later.32
     Almarie appears to be listed with her husband, Walter Adam Schuck, and their daughter Frances on the 1930 Federal Census of Urbana, Champaign Co., Illinois, at 304½ E. Illinois, enumerated 9 Apr 1930. However the record is in some doubt because both his wife and child are recorded as Ruth, a name neither of them ever used, but neither of them has been found elsewhere in the 1930 census.33
     Walter did file for divorce from Almarie on 11 May 1934 in Marion Co., Indiana, Circuit Court. No record of the disposition of the suit has been found, but she remarried in September of that year and he did in 1938. According to family oral history she later found the divorce was not final when she remarried and she and her third husband were married again after the divorce became final. However no record of them marrying again has been found.17,18

     Almarie and Raymond appeared on the 1950 Federal Census of Plainfield, Hendricks Co., Indiana, at 97 Buchanan St., enumerated 30 Mar 1950, reporting they lived in a home that was not on a farm.35
