Hosea would waltz Bessie around their kitchen to ‘Love Me Tender’ sang by Frank Sinatra

So I wanted to figure out around how long Hosea and Bessie had been married/a timeline of sorts and here’s what I got and my thinking process:

(Sources are from Wikipage, Reddit, good ol’ safari, and my headcannons)

Their photo is dated 1883, from how close they are sitting, I’d assume they’re already married.

Hosea said “Then I met two people that changed my life. My dear wife Bessie and good old Dutch. And for twenty years now, life has made sense.”

Hosea and Dutch became partners in (about) 1877 (probably before). The photo is dated ‘83, so that leaves a 6 year gap. Because I love Bessie and Hosea, and would want them to have as much time together as possible, I would give them 2 years before they got together.

Aurthor joined the gang in 1879, around 14, maybe at this time it’s when Hosea and Bessie left. Arthur said he doesn’t really remember, this could be because he wasn’t familiar with the Matthews yet.

Assume that they took a year off before Hosea drifted back and Bessie being the top G she is, stayed with him and became kick ass Bessie Matthews.

Sometime during 1883 Bessie and Hosea (maybe even on an anniversary) got the photo taken.

In the epilogue, there’s a photo of the gang with baby Jack, so the year should be between ‘95-‘96. Bessie isn’t seen in the photograph, so she probably already passed. The way Hosea talks makes me think it wasn’t 3 or 4 years, a more significant period. Maybe closer to the 10 year mark.

Again, with 1883 being our minimum year, and 1896 being the maximum year, factoring in the 10 years means that Bessie could have died in the year 1889.

That means Bessie and Hosea very well could have been married for 10 years.

Halfway through this process, I had a thought, what if during their gap year (1883) they got the photo taken? That would definitely shift everything. But I’m not getting into that rn
