    1. Forest S. and Adelaide C. LEFFELL - Kansas City, MO - 1910
    2. John O'Brien
    3. "The Kansas City Star" (Missouri) Saturday, October 15, 1910 WAS GIVEN ALIMONY OF 1 CENT. Alimony was forced upon Mrs. Adelaide C. LEFFELL when she obtained a divorce today from Forest S. LEFFELL before Judge Hermann BRUMBACK. Mrs. LEFFELL lives at the Lorraine Apartments on Broadway. She did not ask for alimony when she filed the suit. "Don't you want alimony?" Judge BRUMBACK asked, before giving Mrs. LEFFELL the decree of divorce. "No, thanks, I do not care for it," she replied. "I think I will award alimony to you," Judge BRUMBACK said. "I want to warn you against remarrying during this term of my court. I will give you alimony of one cent." The LEFFELLs were married in Dallas, Tex., in 1893. They separated last March. LEFFELL is foreman of the press room at the Western Newspaper Union. The court's order for alimony was made for the purpose of ending litigation in the case for all time. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ======================================================
