Anna Walker vs James Walker: divorce granted.

Sarah E Bolles vs John Ward Bolles: divorce granted, and Complainant granted right to resume her former name of Sarah E Walker

Elizabeth Gibson vs William A Gibson: divorce granted, and complainant allowed to resume maiden name of Elizabeth Hobbs.


Thomas Murphy of Bellmont who has been working at Carey’s stave mill at Golden Gate fell in a vat of boiling water, Wednesday and was so severely scalded that he died early Thursday morning. This disposes of his divorce suit which was to have come up at the next term of our Circuit Court. (Wabash County)
