DIVORCE NOTES
----------
Jane Hendrickson, files a somewhat voluminous complaint against her husband James H. Hendrickson, and among the juicy things she says; That in September 1839, when the rich red blood was flowing through her veins and when her heart was light and her step was elastic, she intermarried with the defendant and continued to live with him until the 6th day of August, 1879, when the defendant abandoned her. She says that when she took James for better or worse she was only thirteen years and six months old. Jane says that her husband immediately after their said marriage treated her in a cruel and inhuman manner and has continued his cruel crusade ever since. She says that his jealousy increased with years and his language and conduct became more violent; that his language toward her and the charges continuously made destroyed her happiness and peace of mind and made her life a burden to be borne. That his charges of improper conduct extended to every man who slept under his roof, every beggar who appeared at their gate, every peddler who vended his wares at their door and every minister who at their table invoked the blessing of the invisible God. The plaintiff not only prays for a dissolution of the marital bonds, but has an eye on the dirt the old man owns and demands a share of that. She has discovered that he is the owner of real estate and personal property to the amount of $6,000 and she prays for alimony as well as a divorce. The complaint is full of meat, and if she proves one third of all she charges, she is entitled to a divorce and all the alimony she can carry.
