In the Circuit Court for Worcester
County, Maryland, In Equity.
No. 4647 Chancery
ORDER OF PUBLICATION
The object of this suit is to pro
cure decree for a divorce vinculc
matrimonii by the plaintiff, Marior
Francis Elgin, from the defendant
Charles o. Elgin.
The bill recites that the parties
hereto were married on or about April
27, 1904, and lived together as hus-
band and wife until on or about Sep
tember Is, 1882. That, though the
conduct of the plaintiff towards hel
husband has always been kind, at
fectionate and above reproach, he
without just cause or reason, aban
doned and deserted her, and has de-
clared his intention to live with hel
no longer, and that such abandonment
has continued uninterruptedly fol
more than three years, and is deliber-
ate and final, and the separation is
beyond any reasonable hope of a re-
conciliation. That the plaintiff has
been a resident of Worcester County,
Maryland, for more than three years
past.
1t is, thereupon, by the Circuit
Court for Worcester County, Mary
land, ORDERED this 9th day of
March, 1886, that the plaintiff, Marion
Frances Elgin, by causing copy of
this order to be inserted in some
weekly newspaper published in Wor-
cester County, Maryland, once in each
of four successive weeks before the
18th day of April, 1886, give notice
to the said absent defendant, Charles
o. Elgin, of the object and substance
of this bill, warning him to be and
appear in this Court in person, or by
solicitor, on or before the 28th day of
April 1886, to show cause, if any he
has, why a decree should not be pass
ed as prayed.
