GETS A DIVORCE
AND MAIDEN NAME
-------------------------
Bertha Ellen Mackey Is Now
Legally Separated
From Her Husband, Albert L. Mackey
----------
A divorce was granted
Mrs. Bertha
Ellen Mackey this morning by Judge Blair and she was allowed to
resume her maiden name, Bertha Ellen Fortune. They were
united in marriage September 16, 1907 and resided together until
January 17, 1911, when they separated. Mrs. Mackey charged her
husband with being cruel and inhuman in his treatment; that he
refused to accompany her anywhere; that he used abusive language and
was morose and sullen. For the past two years he failed to provide
for his wife and she charges him with gambling and being a man of
dissolute habits.
