Guy & Kate met each other in art school at the California College of Arts & Crafts (CCAC) in Oakland, CA. Married in 1932, Guy Salisbury Prince (1904-1958) & Kate Overstreet (1908-1987), lived in Alameda, CA in the house of his father, John Rogers Prince Sr. (1859-1933) until the birth of their son Eugene Richey Prince (1933-2015) when they removed to Tuolumne, CA.
Theirs was a rocky relationship, marred by Guy’s erratic drinking problems, they bounced frequently from family seats in Tuolumne (the Princes) and Hollister (the Overstreets). In 1936 a second son was born, Ralph Everett Prince to them in Gilroy (neer Hollister). In 1938 Kate filed for divorce, granted in 1939, at which time the couple parted ways.
