Plaintiff: F. P. Hood Defendant: Louisa J. Hood Date: 5 Aug 1889 File: 113 A longer case, abstracted. Plaintiff said they were married in Monroe Co 24 Nov 1885, have lived together until July 1887 - about two years ago. They separated and haven't lived together since. He charges that she abandoned his bed and refused to bed with him; not reciprocated. He provided a good home for her and all the necessities of life ... He had lived in Monroe Co about 36 years or all his life. Prays for a divorce. Attorney was J. A. SCOTT. Depositions taken: William T HOOD, taken 17 Oct 1889 at Mud Lick, KY in office of J. B. EUBANK. 18 years old, lived Monroe Co, farmer. Had known the parties 12 years and knew them to be husband and wife. Had heard her use harsh language to him. One day Plaintiff went off to the mill and failed to get back by dinner time. She wouldn't get him any dinner because he was late; he had no business staying away as long as he did. He had to wait in line for the grinding making him late. Deponent heard her say she would never give him a divorce but she didn't intend to live with him anymore and would seem him dead da....ed and in a hill before she would live with him. Never saw plaintiff mistreat her. Eliza J. TURNER, taken same time and place. 20 years old, lived Monroe Co. Had know the parties all her life; was at the wedding about 5 years ago; Dr. J. A. REGISTER married them. Hadn't been to their house during the marriage but it was rumored in the neighborhood that Louisa mistreated the plaintiff. Robert M. TURNER, same time and place. 36 years old, lived Monroe Co, farmer. Known the parties about 20 years. He was called to go to their house to settle a difference between them about 2 years ago; didn't know the cause of the differences but had heard of her mistreating him. Was asked if he (the plaintiff) proposed to divide the property and quit and if he did or not agree to live with her in reasonable grounds. He agreed to live with her any where except where they were then living. Asked if he understood that P. J. JEFFREYS was the cause of the trouble - yes. P. J. was about 19 years old. Frank P. Hood was known to be a quiet and peaceable and hard working man. Hayden H. HOOD, same time and place. 17 years old, lived Barren Co. Had known the defendant 3-4 years; knew the plaintiff. Said she had left his bed and left for about 2 weeks. Plaintiff asked her to return; didn't know why she had refused. She refused to cook for him, do his sewing and patching and refused to do his laundry. Hayden was the son of F. P. Hood. She refused to take care of F. P. when he was sick for about 9 weeks. During that time his father stayed in the house and that he had waited on him. His father had required a great deal of help during this time. He was asked how the defendant fed the boys, yourself and your brother - said she threw the food on the floor and said it was good enough for a dog. He said his father supplied sufficient food for them. William B. TURNER. Same time and place. 44 years old, resident of Monroe Co, knew the parties all his life. Was at the house a few times and never saw the plaintiff mistreat her. He had heard the rumor that the trouble was brought on by her son, P. J. Jeffreys. On outside of packet: This petition is insufficient and dismissed. Ok, Randy or whoever. What happened? Had Louisa been married to a Jeffrey's before the marriage to Hood? Had he been married to someone previously to have 2 sons? Were they ever divorced? Why wasn't their sufficient cause? Very interesting!
