ADAMS, CHIN, CLODDY, CRAWFORD, DIGGS, DOBSON, PULHAMUS, RIGGS, SHAFER, SHAW "The Kansas City Times" (Missouri) Wednesday, June 20, 1894 UNMARRIED EIGHTEEN. Judge DOBSON started the wheels of the divorce mill grinding yesterday and turned out nine decrees. Emma J. PULHAMUS was granted a divorce from John T. PULHAMUS, $250 alimony in gross and $25 per month until further order of the court. Mr. PULHAMUS was formerly a clerk in the Caro Furniture company, and lost his job when that institution failed. While the divorce suit was pending, Judge DOBSON ordered him to pay his wife $5 per week alimony. He did not do so, claiming he had no money and could find no employment. He was adjudged to be in contempt of court, but the matter was compromised by PULHAMUS withdrawing his answer and agreeing not to contest his wife's suit. He has not yet secured regular employment. Other divorces granted were: Mollie CRAWFORD from Frank CRAWFORD William H. SHAW from Nannie C. SHAW Bruce ADAMS from Mamie ADAMS John CLODDY from Belle CLODDY Minnie R. RIGGS from Frank E. RIGGS Lizzie SHAFER from Wesley W. SHAFER George W. DIGGS from Rosa A. DIGGS Alice C. CHIN from Frank D. CHIN All were granted by default. ====================================================== (I have no connection with any of these families but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ======================================================
