Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise. (Pocomoke City, Md.) 1921-1953, 1924-07-12

The object of this suit is to pro-
cure a decree of divorce a vinculo
matrimonii to the plaintiff from the
defendant.
The bill states that in the month of
September, in the year 1910, the
plaintiff, r. Lee Purnell, was married
to the defendant, Hattie S. Purnell, in
Nassawadox, in the State of Virginia,
with whom he resided in Berlin, in in
Worcester County, Maryland, until
the month of September, in the year
1914.
That though the conduct of the
plaintiff to the defendant was always
kind, affecionate and above reproach,
the defendant, has without any just
cause or reason abandoned and de-
serted him and that such abandon
ment has continued uninterruptedly
for three years and is deliberate and
final, and the separation of the par
ties beyond any reasonable eXpecta-
ton of reconciliation, and the defend
ant is not resident of the State of
Maryland.
That one child has been born to
them from said marriage, namely,
Elizabeth Purnell, who is twelve years
of age.
It is, thereupon, this 10th day of
July 1924, ordered by the Circuit
Court for Worcester County, Mary
land, in Equity, that the plaintiff by
causing a copy of this order to be in
serted in some newspaper published
in said Worcester County, Maryland,
once in each of three successive weeks
before the 18th day of August, 1924,
give notice to the said absent defend
ant of the object and substance Of this
bill warning her to appear in this
Court in person or by solicitor, on or
before the LIST day of September. next,
to show cause, if any, she has, whv a
decree ought not to be passed as
