Wilson w. Starcher had another
turn in the divorce mill last Thurs
day He had a similar case in this
court about ten years ago, obtain
ing a divorce from his wife Catha-
rine. He then married her
daughter who died few years ago.
Last fall he heard of Joanna
McVey Vinton County widow,
wrote her a letter in spi rit of
love and affection and business
stating that he wanted to get mar
ried and get housekeeper just as
quick as he could. She answered
him, and he forthwith hied himself
to her little home in Vinton and
married her on sight. He took
her to his suburban retreat in Green
township, where he supervised the
kitchen and culinary department
and did the cooking himself, as he
had done all his life, and would
not allow any woman in the kitch-
en- to cook. They say the old man
is an expert cook. But their mar
riage seemed to be a failure from
the first day. DissensiOns and
strife arose and they soon separat-
ed. She sued for divorce charging
him with failure to provide, driv-
ing her off, and impOtency. He
cOuntered by denial and charging
some physical defO rmity that was
dangerous and that she had lived
improperly with some other man
since leaving him. This lattel
charge was not sustained. The
court found the marriage to be 4
misfit and a failure and granted d
divorce, giving her $50 alimOny in
addition to $40 heretofore allowed
she to quit claim her interest in
his real estate.
