Yesterday Elmer C. Glover brought suit for divorce in the circuit court against Lucinda Glover. He says that they were married in September 1878 and lived together until March 1892 when she abandoned him; that on diverse occasions her treatment and conduct toward him was cruel and that by reason thereof their temper became incompatible and their life together uncongenial and miserable to him. He asks for a decree of divorce and that the court give him the custody of their son who is now __ years of age. Plaintiff states that by occupation he is a physician. He is now located at the corner of 7^th and Popular Streets. Mrs. Glover is with her parents at Crawfordsville – Terre Haute Express.

Mrs. Glover is now residing with her father, George Bond on East Jefferson Street. Mrs. Glover is a most estimable lady and only left Dr. Glover when endurance ceased to be a virtue. His immorality and infidelity were potent to all Terre Haute and when all efforts to reform the man failed, Mrs. Glover very quietly and wisely left him and came to this city where she has resided now for several months.

GRAY, Mary - Gilbert

Source: Crawfordsville, Indiana Weekly Argus News June 22, 1895 p 6

The suit of Mrs. Mary Gray vs. Gilbert Gray for divorce was called in the circuit court this morning. A long delay was caused by the conference of the attorneys who were trying to adjust matters so as to avoid a trial. Anderson & Crane appear for the defendant while Wright & Sella are Mrs. Gray's attorneys. It looked like a public speaking was to be held so large a crowd being present but they were all neighbors, relatives and friends of the parties to the suit who live in Walnut Township. Gilbert Gray is one of th emost prominent and wealthy farmers of the county and the filing of the suit was a source of much surprise to all not intimately acquainted with the family. It seems that there was an incompatibility of temperment which could not be reconciled and nothing but a divorce would do. The charge was cruel and inhuman treatment. Gray refused to fight the case and Judge Harney gave Mrs. Gray a divorce and $500 alimony and what promised to be a big fight ended.

HENDERSON, AJ - Phronia

Source: Crawfordsville Daily Journal 13 May 1892 p 3

This was divorce day in the circuit court but for some reason or other it didn’t pan out as well as expected from a numerical standpoint. A good many didn’t show up having concluded to try connublial bliss another whirl before sundering the ties forever. The first case before the court was that of Mrs. Willis Canary against Willis. Jere West was master of ceremonies and Judge Sellar and Editor Coffman looked most beneficient as they swore that they knew the lady to be a resident of the town. Mrs. Canary said she wished to retain her bird like name but wanted a divorce from Willis just the same. Willis was awfully rough and rude while he lived with her and took especial delight in gadding about town with such frivolous and giddy creatures as Nancy Lightcap. He also was almost tickeled to death with circumstances were such that he could kick the wife of his bosom about the floor in imitation of the college boys whom he had seen playing foot ball on the campus. He also liked to swear at her and choker her for the purpose of changing his luck when the pop corn trade was dull.

“You have a child, have you not, Mrs. Canary? Asked Mr. West – yes, sir. “What is its name?” Jimmie Blaine Canary was the fond mamma’s response. “Is it a boy or a girl?” asked West. But the laugh drowned the response and the divorce was decreed.

Mrs. Rosalie Kenney is quite pretty and she wanted a divorce from harry Kenny who skipped and left her after one month of bliss. She has not heard from him since and the court granted the decree to the joy of Mrs. Kenny (sic) who took her maiden name of Coombs.

The case of AJ Henderson against Phronia Henderson was continued until next term.

The case of Rose Thomas against Frank Thomas was about to be dismissed as the plaintiff had failed of service, but on learning that eight days still remained to get it she went her way rejoicing and unting for the wicked defended.

The case of Alice Shotts against Wesley Shotts was dropped from the docket as the parties had patched up their difficulties.

The case of James Endicott vs. Cora Endicott was called and it was proved conclusively that the worthy Jim was a much abused young man. Cora is beyond question wholly unworthy of his loving kindness and husbandly affection, She before she so cruelly deserted him a year ago used to pass her time swearing at him until he shed great bring tears as big as spring peas. She is now living in Lafayette and as she is in rather shady business the court granted the divorce.

The star case of the day was the suit of Lulu Keesee again Frank Keesee, who until July 9 last, drove the wagon for Hadley & King for $9 a week and very generously lavished $2 of that sum on the sup0port of his wife and four children. He skipped last July and it is supposed left these parts with Mrs. Julia Ashley of Homer, Ill. This Mrs. Ashley was very much infatuated with the altogether adonis like Keesee and several of her amorous letters were read by JR Hanna to the delight and edification of all present. The court actually blushed and finally called a halt in the reading which was rather lively to say the least. The following is one of the choice passages upon which the court found a verdict for the plaintiff: “Oh you sweet-faced Frank! How glad I am when you come so that I can meet you at the door and you can take me in your arms and hug me and kiss me and I can say bless your sweet mouth.” This is one of the tame passages and the letters all pictured Frank as being ravishingly beautiful and captivating. Perhaps he was but as such he was never appreciated in these parts for some strange reason.

HORN

Source: Crawfordsville Weekly Journal, 21 February 1891

The time of the circuit court Tuesday was occupied in trying the divorce cases which came up. There were 17 on the docket, but not all of them came up.

The first was the suit of Susan Wilhite against Wm. Wilhite, the popular coal oil vendor. She proved by many witnesses that Will was a great man to destroy liquor and while under the influence of the same to apply pet names to her not in keeping with the character of a Christian gentleman. Will has frequently beaten her too, and upon one occasion drew a knife and threatened to "let his life blood out upon the new carpet" The twain were married on January 3, 1873, and on January 3, 1891 they celebrated the anniversary by parting company. As William did not appear the divorce was granted.

Emma Pine next appeared and said that David, her husband wasn't worth shucks. He appeared pretty good timber when she took him but after two days of married life the provoking old thing packed up his duds and left the ranch. He has not shown up there since and the court got even with him by setting the coy Emma free.

Rosa Platt said that Thomas Platt was a regular dead beat. The wretch had utterly failed to provide for her as he had promised when first their troth was plighted in the shadows outside the electric light. Although Tom was released from the county jail Monday where he had spent a season for his prized fight escapade, the fellow did not appear to deny Rosa's statement and she was released from the odious bonds.

Francis Thebus, of Sugar Creek township, told the court that her husband, George Washington Thebus was a hard drinking, hard swearing and hard hitting old lout and that she was the victim of all three of his acquirement's. George was not on hand and the divorce was promptly granted by the sympathetic judge.

Augusta Larsh, of Ladoga, complained to Judge Snyder that her husband Carl had run off after abiding with her a year and was now feeding in pastures new. She got her divorce.

Another Ladoga lady came up smiling in the person of Nannie Myers. She was married with due pomp and solemnity to Jim Myers, who after two months of wedded life grew careless like and wandered away never to return. Nannie got a release.

Ben Condon is evidently a mighty mean man. Sarah his wife stood up in open court and accused him of drunkenness, profanity and also of choking her. Ben said this was all true and moreover said Sarah had failed to provide for him during the last two years and he was willing she should have a divorce. It was given with a smile.

The Horn case did not come up although Mr. Anderson labored assiduously to bring it to a focus. -- thanks to Kim H

John Hunter, charged with incest, appeared before the circuit court Monday and filed a most peculiar motion for the dismissal of the case. It will be remembered that the man’s victim was his step-daughter and further that after the case came up against him it developed that Hunter had been married before he married the girl’s mother to a woman from whom he never obtained a divorce. Hunter accordingly claims that his bigamy renders the second void and hence as the girl is not his stepdaughter he stands not guilty of incest as charged in the indictment. Judge Harney has as yet made ruling in the case.

The arguments in the plea in bar case of John Hunter, charged with incest, were made in the Circuit Court before Judge Snyder today. The defendant was represented by Judge Sellar who claimed that as the marriage with the girl’s mother was void he was not her stepfather, and hence not guilty. Prosecutor Moffett granted this, but held that a plea in bar was not warranted in criminal cases. Judge Harney took the case under advisement until tomorrow, when he will render a decision. Many think that Hunter will go free because, forsooth, he is guilty of the greater crime of bigamy
