Alta Gladden was born 25 Dec 1884 in St Paul, MN to William Gladden & Emma Bird (1857-????)

Alta was first married at age 19 in Chicago, IL to Frederick B. Goins the 8 Mar 1903, she then married Sherman Jackson in Havre, MT 10 Jan 1909. They had not been married for very long before she went to prison.

Sherman Jackson was born 15 Jan 1887 in Fort Grant, AZ to James Jackson & Nancy Sears (1856-1928)

This was not his first conviction, the newspaper articles start his criminal career in 1904 when his mother reports him to be incorrigible, here is what I found.

I have no idea what happened to Alta, she may have moved to Chicago to be with her mom. I do know her brother Earnest William Gladden named his daughter Alta and he was a musician in a café in Chicago.
