Thanks so much for the examples of old-fashioned "flowery" news descriptions. What wonderful prose! We can all imagine how those tales of divorce would look in print today - perhaps the National Enquirer could give the sordid details. Keep 'em coming. None are mine -- but I would treasure one if it shows up! Ann

News article from the Cincinnati Daily Enquirer, Monday Morning, September 24, 1877. Scandalous Reception to a Company of Serenaders "George H. SMITH, Matt HOBAR, and Henry SPECKERMAN, a company of Covington and Newport amateur musicians tried a serenade on a bad-house kept on Sixth street, opposite the Market-house, yesterday morning. The proprietress of the bad-house being an Italian, with a fine ear for music, was offended with the playing and expressed her disgust by hurling from the window, not a rotten cabbage-head, but a half-filled and tolerably heavy spittoon, right into the midst of the band of minstrels. It landed square on the head of George H. Smith, the flutist. The amateurs didn't like this reception, and being a little under the influence of beer, were ready for a muss. The police arrested them before they had an opportunity to pay up the score. All day yesterday and all last night the flutist played dolorous music in his cell. With the instinct of a true musician they all three held on to their instruments, just as a true soldier holds fast to his gun." Phyllis

In the mid 1960's I attended a church called the Evangelical United Brethren Church at McMillan and Rohs Sts. across from Hughes H.S. near the U. of Cincinnati. I think the church was a product of two or more churches having merged. The building might have been more than 60 years old. I think it is now a United Methodist Church, but I'm not sure. I no longer live in Cincinnati. Good luck!

From the Cincinnati newspaper, The Enquirer, Tuesday, June 26, 1888: "The magnificent McKELVEY farm, one mile west of Glendale, at auction, this afternoon at 3 0'clock. The farm consists of 208 acres, with fine improvements and is unquestionably one of the finest places in Hamilton County or the State of Ohio. It will be sold as a whole or divided into two farms of 138 and 70 acres respectively. Title perfect. Terms easy. Trains leave C.H. and D. Depot at 12:52 and 1:52 city time. Conveyance furnished from Glendale to farm. ESTE and SCHMIDT, Auctioneers, 34 W. Fourth St." Phyllis

I thought these would make for interesting reading and a great find for anyone related to these folks. These offer the kinds of details one rarely finds, but adds greatly to a person's life story. And it gives the flavor of that time period. Glad you are enjoying them!

And more, from the Cincinnati newspaper, The Enquirer, Tuesday, June 26, 1888: "Judge Schroder yesterday had the attorneys for Lizzie McGUIRE notified that to-day at 10 a.m. he would pass sentence on her under her conviction for grand larceny. She was convicted of participation in the Hellebush jewelry robbery last December. The motion for a new trial will be formally overruled and she will be sentenced to the Penitentiary. The case will be taken to the Supreme Court." Phyllis

More news from the Cincinnati newspaper, The Enquirer, Tuesday, June 26, 1888: "Anna J. COOPER was married to Charles COOPER August 4, 1884, in this city. One child was born of the union. She sued for divorce yesterday. In her petition she alleges that her husband is an able-bodied young man, always employed, and receives $45 a month as wages. Yet he has never contributed anything to the support of herself and child. He has also been willfully absent from her for more than three years. She wants alimony and the custody of the child." Phyllis

From the Cincinnati newspaper, The Enquirer, Tuesday, June 26, 1888: "Julia BAUER was one of those unfortunate young women who, listening to the loft nothings and sweet somethings of a young man, fell by the wayside among the thorns and thistles of immortality. Frank MEYER was her evil spirit. In the summer days of 1883, so said Julia, he led her by seductive wiles and golden promises from the path of virtue. In due time, the population of Cincinnati was increased by one. Julia was unable to induce Frank by ordinary requests to right the wrong he had done. She therefore appealed to the blind-fold goddess. Rather than be weighed in her magic balance he married Julia. He at once said he could not support her and they separated in 'Squire Bloom's' temple of justice, ne'er to meet again as husband and wife. She went to her parents and he to his. He would not visit her, or even recognize her on the street. She sued for divorce and Judge Evans granted it yesterday." Phyllis

From the Cincinnati newspaper, The Enquirer, Tuesday, June 26, 1888: "A 'State of things' was developed yesterday at the hearing of the divorce suit of Samuel HIRSCH against Mary HIRSCH. The woman, through her ignorance and fondness for men other than her legal husband, committed a crime punishable by imprisonment in the Penitentiary. It is not probably, however, that she will be prosecuted. The couple were married May 31, 1882. In 1885 she left him and went to Cleveland with a man named Pat MACKLIN. She returned in a short time and confessed that she had committed an unpardonable sin. MACKLIN also told HIRSCH that his wife's story was true. HIRSCH would not live with her after that. She had sold all her household furniture before she went away with MACKLIN. When her husband refused to live with her and filed suit for divorce she supposed that the bringing of the suit released her from all obligations as his wife. She therefore, not long afterward married a man named Michael SCULLY, in Covington. She is now living with him in this city. This was the story told to Judge Evans, and he allowed HIRSCH a divorce."

Jack; I found no PREDMORE marriage in the "Restored Marriages of Hamilton Co. OH" from 1860 through 1884 (the most recent entry). However, I also have an index for Kenton Co. (Covington) KY and there is: Predmore, Andrew W. age 23, resident of OH - farmer, b. OH fb NJ mb OH married Fowler, Maggie A. age 20, res. of Kenton Co. b. OH fb OH mb KY. Date of the license issuance and of the marriage is 3/8/1870 Record from Marriage Book #1, Kenton Co. Covington KY Might be a good idea for you to check the mailing list and message boards for that county for more information. Best wishes, Ann Bergelt Florida
