Plaintiff: Mary Matilda Emberton Defendant: James E. Emberton Date4: 29 Nov 1906 File No: 861 Another short divorce case where there is no indication of the outcome. Again the charges follow the normal pattern as to convince the judge to grant the divorce. Almost a "R" rating here. Mary resides Monroe Co; she and James were legally married and lived together until Nov. 1906. He then treated her in a cruel and inhuman manner as to show a aversion to her and to destroy permanently her peace and happiness; he beat her cruelly and attempted to injure her that shows an outrageous temper in him; there was danger to her life and body from remaining with him. She was then forced to leave her home; James accuses her of being unfaithful which is unfounded and also accuses her oldest daughter of the same thing. They had __ children, 5 of whom are under 21 years of age; the youngest not being more than 2 years old and dependent upon her for support. She has no means of support and her husband has ample means of support. He refuses to support them unless they remain with him and take his abuse and mistreatment. He has about $800 in cash in the Deposit Bank, a tract of land in Monroe Co, a wagon, hogs, sheep & 2 cows plus a household and kitchen furniture. She believes that unless ordered by the court that he will fraudently sell, conceal or remove his property in order to defeat her claim for alimony, etc. She prays that the bonds of matrimony be broken and $15.00 in alimony for herself and children, maintenance during the pendency of this action and an attachment against his property and for all proper relief. Sworn to by her in front of Joe S. Miller, County Judge. Next week - very large case (over 15 pages worth) of an England couple. (surname England).
