The first set is about a couple that filed for divorce. I'm guessing at the date of 1925 and although I'm not 100% sure of the newspapers in which they appeared, I'm fairly certain they were KCK papers since Grandma lived with her parents there at the time. They had recently moved from 313 Walker Street to somewhere on N. 12th St by that time, I think. To my knowledge, I'm not related to this couple. My guess is that the wife was a friend or acquaintance of Grandma Alice or her sister Eva since in mentions that the woman worked at the telephone company. So did Eva and Alice. ~k --------------- HE MADE FUN OF HER COOKING Now Kansas City, Kansas Bride, 18, Asks a Divorce Charging her husband, Fred A.

There were married September 20, 1924 and separated January 31. HUSBAND CALLS COOKING POOR; SHE ASKS FOR DIVORCE Charging her husband criticised her cooking and that he used caveman tactics in his criticism and locked her in her room when she threatened to quit her job, Mrs. Eva May Thomas, 18 years old, 1403 Central Avenue, Kansas City, Kas., yesterday filed suit for divorce from Fred A. Thomas. Mrs. Thomas said they were married September 20, 1924. She alleges her husband said her cooking was poor and threw her across a chair.
