Eight divorce suits were filed in the county court at Washington on Monday. Of these, one, Jessie S. LYONS, is from McDonald. She charges her husband, William M. LYONS, with continual abuse during their married life and finally with desertion of her and her children. They were married March 23, 1907, at Muncy, where they lived until July of that year. They then moved to Providence, R. I., where they lived until 1909, when they moved to Philadelphia. In December of 1909 he deserted her, she states, and she was compelled to come to the home of her half brother at McDonald. She says that her husband boasted to her of his infidelity and of his friendship for a colored woman at Washington, D. C. She says he often cursed her and at one time shook the baby so hard it became black in the face. She says he gave her only 50 cents a week to support her and bought her just one dress during the time they lived together. *The Record of 9-26-1913 lists the divorce as granted. Full names given as Jessie Sophronia LYONS and William Mollard LYONS.
