    2. >From the Ohio State Journal, dated Friday Aril 26, 1907: SAYS WIFE TOO LAZY TO UNDRESS FOR BED Complaint of Husband Who is Granted Divorce -- Suits Filed and Separations Decreed. MARY C. BRUSH was too lazy to take off her shoes or any of her clothes when she went to bed, according to the testimony of HORACE W. BRUSH, a millwright in the employee of the Jeffrey Manufacturing company, who was granted a divorce yesterday by JUDGE CHARLES M. ROGERS. She allowed her three children to be about all day in their nightgowns, the husband also declared, rather than go to the effort of aiding them to dress. He said that often, when he returned home at night from work, he scrubbed the floor and washed the dishes himself, because she had not done so. Before her marriage, MRS. BRUSH was a stenographer, and the husband said his wife constantly declared she did not want to keep house, but wished to do office work. After 21 years of marriage and the birth of eight children, WILLIAM EHMANN filed suit, yesterday, asking a divorce. He says that for the last six years his wife, MATTIE M. EHMANN has been staying out late at night and associating with soldiers at the barracks and others. Three other divorce suits were filed. DAISEY M. charges EDWARD H. PARRISH with gross neglect and habitual drunkeness. JAMES H. charges MINNIE L. CARSON with willful absence. CORDELIA chrages ALBERT C. SCHOELLKOPF with habitual drunkeness and extreme cruelty. Sheriff George J. Karb received, to be served on CORBIN BARRINGER, a divorce suit filed in Montgomery county by ANNA M. BARRINGER. She charges extreme cruelty and unfaithfulness. They have lived in Osborn, Dayton and Columbus since their marriage in 1894. Six divorces were granted yesterday. In addition to that given MR. BRUSH, Judge Rogers divorced: CHARLES from MARY HENDERSON for gross neglect RUBY G. from JOHN A. MILLER for gross neglect ABBIE O. from JOHN O.
