IDAHO SUPREME COURT SUSTATNS
VALIDITY OF CELESTIAL MARRIAGE

this divorce was valid and later married
William Hilton.
The Idaho supreme court sustained the
lower court in its decision, that while
the marriage of Miss Armtage to Dr..
Park was valid, the divorce was not.
This made Mrs. Park Hilton the widow
of DR.. Park, and as the widow. the court
held, she is entitled to One-half of DR..
Parks estate.
In the decision the various points
raised by the lawyers of Samuel w. Stew
art. executor of the DIR. Park estate, were
disposed of. 1t was held that Mrs. Park
HiltOn's marriage to Hilton did not affect
the merits of her claim and that the only
manner in which the second marriage
could properly come before the court
would be when some question is raised
concerning the Hilton property.
Mrs. Park-HiltOn's victory will be a
matter of grave interest TO a number of
Salt Lake property owners. as the widow
not only claims half of the estate left
by DR.. Park but disputes the validity of
transfers of property before his death
which were made without obtaining her
signature as DR.. Parks wife.
She now has actions pending against

to one half of the real estate OF the Ut.

Hilton case was reviewed. In 1872, at the
residence of Mrs. Emeline Free Young, in
Salt Lake. DR.. Park was sealed to Annie
Armitage BY President d. II. Wells. AT
the time Miss Armitage was supposed 10

in accordance with the belief Of the Lat
