Descendants of William H. Wilson/ Leroy Guy Wilson

I'm searching for information about the descendants of William H. Wilson. He had a daughter named Belle and son was Leroy. Leroy married Ella Clausen. They had two daughters, Maybelle b. about 1906 and Kathryn born about 1915.

Does anyone have access to marriage records for Asotin County?

I know William H. died in Spokane. I wonder where he is buried.

Thanks, Sally
