She married (2) Mr. Everhart/Everhardt before 1906. She married (3) Ben F. Matheny on 28 February 1906 in Chicago, Cook County, Illinois. She married (4) Herbert Waters on 19 June 1913 in Des Moines, Polk County, Iowa. About 1902, the twice divorced Viva Fitchpatrick co-habitated as a common law wife with with Samuel Chrisman Hazzard who passed himself off as Sam Hargrave and Viva as Viva Hargrave. However, eventually Sam's affections were diverted to Dr. Linda Burfield, a Minneapolis doctor. Viva's father Joseph Fitchpatrick used his considerable political influence to press bigamy charges against Samuel Hazzard aka Hargrave and the result was the "biggest event" in Minneapolis for some time. Mr. Hazzard was found guilty of bigamy, served his time in prison, and although Viva had by this time forgiven her wayward husband and emotionally and financially supported him throughout his sentence, he returned instead to the waiting arms of Dr. Burfield.
