We have received communication
from Levybaugh, Marion county, signed
by Mrs. Emeline Nay, nee Emeline Roby,
containing the particulars of her hus-
bands desertion under circumstances
that show him in anything but an en-
viable light She says:
Ny husband, Perry Green Nay, com
monty called P G. Nay, on or about
the LIST of September, 1869, left the
town of Warrington, Marion county,
where we then lived, with the intention
of being absent two weeks, from which
journey he has not as yet returned, and
if he is now living, which understand
he is, / hope this communication may
reach him. He left under the following
circumstances:
He formed the acquaintance of a
young widow by the name of Ellen
Hawkinberry, whom he made his par
amour. Not content with visiting her,
he finally brought her to his own house,
very much against my will, but being
in very delicate health, and not being
physically able to resist such course
Of conduct, and having four small chill
dren to care for, | was compelled TO
submit for time to such outrageous
conduct At last Mrs. Ellen became a
public nuisance, and | resolved TO re
move her at all hazards. | then mott.
fled my husband of my intention, and
he declared if did drive Ellen off he
would never do anything more tor
me, and that i might go to
the dogs The intimacy between my
husband and Ellen became so alarm
ing that | finally compelled Ellen to
leave, and the same day that she left
my husband, P. 6. Nay, left also, and
! have heard nothing reliable from him
since he left. understand he is some,
where in the West, perhaps in Missouri.
When here he followed the vocation OF
silversmithing. His father, Isaac Nay,
who is a protested minister of the Cos
pei, and a loud professor of religion, re,
ceives letters from his son aid denies
me the poor privilege Of knowing where
my husband is, and says that his son
is not going to live with any such wo-
man, because ! drove his sons para
mour from under my root. If this is
proper course for minister of the Cos
pei and a grandfather to his sons chill
dren to pursue, ] must confess | am at
! n loss TO know what would be an i'm
proper course for Il minister OF the Cos
pei.
When my husband left, he left me
with four small children to support,
one but two or three months old, with
out anything to sustain life-no money,
living in rented property the rent not
paid, and / sick and hardly able to
walk from the bed TO the fre-all being
brought on me by his course of bad
conduct and bad treatment; and yet his
father (the minister), whose heart is as
hard as adamant, never as much as
lends helping hand to support his
sons children. Had ! not had kind
and affectionate father and mother who
took me home and cared for my wants,
| would this day, together with my
children, have been a county charge.
But | thank my kind father and mother
for so timely deliverancc from starva'
| ton.
If this communication should ever
reach my husband, P. &. Nay, hope
it may cause him to reflect on his past
conduct and his bad treatment to me
and if he has no respect for the one he
solemnly vowed to protect and honor
may God constrain him to have some
respect for his children, and that he
may at least assist in their support.
EMEIINE Nay.
