Because Charles Caldwell
did not love his wife, Irene Caldwell,
as well in May as he did in December, Mrs. Caldwell decided that she wanted a
divorce and this morning she appeared before Judge Blair, where the papers
legally separating her from her husband were given her. She was asked not to
marry within the next two years and she promised faithfully to enjoy at least
that length of single-blessedness.Thursday April 18, 1912

Mr. Caldwell and his wife chose Christmas day, 1887, as about the proper time for them to get married. They were in Kentucky at that time and the ceremony was performed in that state of pretty women and fast horses. Later they came to this city to make their home. The husband finally tired of his wife and abandoned and deserted her. For the last five years of their married life, he failed to provide for her and she had to make a living by labor. They separated May 16, 1907. The plaintiff was restored her maiden name of Harding. The parties are colored people.
Wray & Campbell looked after the interests of the plaintiff.
