Florence E. Morrill, of Canaan, in the county

respectfully represents that her maiden name
was Florence E. Worthen; that she was law
fully married to the said Scot W. Morrill, by
the Rev. W: H. Spencer at Wateryille, In the
State of Maine on the seventh day of June A. ID.

to wit Essle Belle Morrill,, four years old that
since their intermarriage your libelant has con
Quoted herself toward the said Scot w. Morrill,
as faithful, chaste and affectionate wife, and
has resided with him at said Watervie and
Canaan; that during the fifteen months now last
past the said libellee, although of sufficient
and support your libeant and their said child,
without fault on her part; that during said time
said libellee has cruelty and wantonly and wick
edly deserted your libellant and compelled her
to work out for the support of herself and her
said child: that the said 1ibelee during said
time has tried to conceal his residence from your
Iibellant and has written her letters mailed at
places other than his placeeof residence wherein
he has told her that he would never live with
her again. That more than year ago the said
libellee deserted your libellant without cause
and went to parts unknown 10 her since which
time she has never seen or heard from him, or
received from him any support; that she has
made dilligent inquiry but has not been able to
ascertain and does not know the residence Of
the said Scot W. Morrill,; that The said Scot W.
Morrill, is of a rowing, shftless disposition
never remaining long in place, and is therefore
entirely untitled to have the care and custody Of
his said child.
Wherefore your libellant prays right and ius-
tice in the premises and that she may be d.
vorced from the bonds of matrimony between
herself and the SAID Scot w. morrill,, and that
the custody of the said child may be decreed 70
her. And your libellant AYERS that said divorce
would be reasonable and proper. conductive 70
domestic harmony, and consistent with the
peace and morality of Society.
