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 7th 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.

Two of the plaintiffs were wives and the other was a colored man. The successful ones were Mrs. Margaret J. Engle, Mrs. Helen Webster and Lewis Glover. The hearing of evidence in the Engle case was finished late Friday afternoon and decree was granted Mrs. Engle at that time. Custody of the two minor children was given her and her husband, John B. Engle, was ordered to pay into the court the sum of one dollar each week for the support of the children. The charge in the complaint of Mrs. Engle was failure to provide. She was represented by Chase Harding while Williams & Murphy presented the evidence of the defendant. This morning Helen Webster was given a divorce from Roy F. Webster on grounds of abandonment. The plaintiff charged that her husband left her soon after their marriage in Denver Colo in 1908 and never returned to her,.

She said she gave him no cause for deserting her. The plaintiff's former name, Helen Rivers, was restored to her. She was represented by Chase Harding, while prosecutor Ira Clouser appeared for the defaulting defendant.

The divorce decree was granted him, but the court informed Glover that he could not remarry for two years. "Don't you worry yo'self none, Jedge," Lewis happily exclaimed, "Ah know ah can't marry fo' two year and Ah suah don't want to. One time is a plent fo' me." Glover was represented by WM Reeves.

GRAY, George - Lily
Source: Crawfordsville Weekly Journal, 29 July 1893
Gray's Grief. Failure again! George D. Gray has filed suit for divorce against his wife Lilv. Lil has been a gay chicken if George tells the truth in his complaint. He says she gadded the country with other men and on one happy little occasion downed about four bottles of St. Julien to say nothing of a tomato can full of beer, in an Indianapolis wine room. George wants a divorce. This hot weather is causing lots of divorce cases to blossom out. The applicants are coming, father Abraham, one hundred thousand strong. - thanks Kim H

GRAY, Mary - Gilbert

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.

Mrs. May H. Grimes has filed a petition for a divorce from John T. Grimes. She alleges habitual drunkeness and that while under the influence of liquor, John was inclined to be cross, and quarrelsome and very given to profanity. They have one child, Hazel B. aged 4 years, whom the defendant has repeatedly threatened to carry away and keep apart from the mother in case she ever brought suit for a divorce. The plaintiff fears lest John may see fit to make good his threat and asks the court for a temporary order restraining the defendant from interfearing (sic) with her in the care of the child until the matter can be brought before the court and settled in the customary manner.
