Noah B.C. Vail has sued for a divorce from his wife, Mariah J. Vail. He alleges the defendant had a penchant for calling him harsh names and telling him that she had not married him for love. She intimated that she cared no more for him than for a rabbit and on one occasion had the effrontery to boast that he was not the father of their youngest child. Mariah was wont to stay out late at night and was not a little bit particular about the company she kept. Noah wants a divorce and the custody of their three children =- transcribed by kbz

VANDEHENDE
Source: Independence Kansas Evening Star 28 April 1911
GF Vandehende did not know what day of the month Thanksgiving came on but knew he wanted a divorce and for that reason was in the district court today. Judge Flannelly asked him how old his child is and he hesitated, then turned and looked the court square in the face. “What month does Thanksgiving come in?” he asked. The question was so unexpected the judge paused a moment, then answered, “November.” That’s right, the 25th of November he was 7 years old. Vandehende lives in Coffeyville and is a piano tuner and musician. His wife is in Crawfordsville, Indiana. They have lived in various places or rather they have separated in various places for wherever he went she refused to come except he would coax her and send her money and when she did come they could not get along. She was like the Dutchman’s dog. When he wanted her she was not at home and when she was at home he did not want her. She was so disagreeable and quarrelsome he told the judge, that he could not live with her. In answer to questions of his attorney, Judge Lamb he said it was all her fault. After he was examined Judge Flannelly asked a few questions of his own nook, and elicited some interesting information. “Relate the story of your first separation?” said the judge. “Well, it was in Crawfordsville,” began the witness. “I was going to the theatre where I played the piano nights to practice. This was in the afternoon. She objected to my going saying I only wanted to see ‘that girl.’ She told me to stay at home and beat a rug. I stayed. I took the rug out and hung it over the porch railing and began to beat it with a hose. She came out on the porch and sat on the railing to see that I did it right. I let the hose slip through my hand till it was far enough out that it hit her a rap on the leg. Then she cursed me and I went in the house. “I laid down and turned on the fan. She came in and turned it off. I had to get up and turn it on again and to pay her back, I kicked a bucket of water over on the floor, just to get even for having to get up and turn the fanon. This raised a row and I grabbed her and nearly tore her wrist off. She said I had to get out of the house but I did not. Her sister and brother were living there and they made her go.” The brother, a boy about 17 was in evidence at the trial and told his story, exonerating his brother-in-law. Mrs. Vandehende was not present. She is in Crawfordsville working in a factory, making mittens. Doubtless her husband wishes she had given him one before he married her. The little boy who was born in the month that Thanksgiving comes in is with his mother. The divorce was granted.
