ORDER OF PUBLICATION

Il
The object of this suit is to procure
decree for divorce vinculo mat
rimonii by the plaintiff, Elizabeth M
Gunby, from the defendant, Martin
Powell Gunby.
The Bill recites that the parties
were married on or about the 3Otn
day of November, 1927, in Worcester
County, Maryland, removing. therea1-
ter to Aberdeen, Maryland, but later
returning to Worcester County, Mary
land, in 1928.
That though the conduct of the
plaintiff towards the defendant mas
always been kind, affectionate and a.
bove reproach, the said defendant d1o'
without any just cause or reason ue-
sert the plaintiff during the summer ne
of 1885, and has declared his unwlll,
ingness to live longer with her ana
that such abandonment has continued
uninterruptedly for more than three
years and is deliberate and final ana
the separation of the parties beyond
any reasonable expectation OF recon-
ciliation. That one child, Martln
Powell Gunby, Jr., aged, nine, was
born as a result of said marriage.
That the plaintiff has been a resident
of Worcester County for more than
two years prior to the time OF the
filing of said suit and the defendant;
Martin Powell Gunby, when last heard
from, was residing in MartinsDurg'
West Virginia.
It is, thereupon, by the Circuit Court
for Worcester County, Maryland, IN
Equity, ordered, this End day OF Sep
tember, 1888, that the plaintiff, Eliza
beth M. Gunby, by causing copy OF
this order to be inserted in some
newspaper published in Worcester
County, Maryland, once in each OF
four successive weeks before the 10th
day of October, 1888, giving notice to
the said absent defendant, Martin
Powell Gunby, of the object and sub
stance of this Bill, warning him to
appear in this Court either in person
or by solicitor on or before the 26th
day of October, 1888, to show cause, if
any he has, why a decree ought not
to be passed as prayed

Sixty years ago the Telephone" a
stern-wheel steamboat $50 feet in
length, left Portsmouth, Ohio, on her
maiden trip to Pittsburgh. At that
time fast boats had often been called
the Telegraph" but only two months
after the first commercial telephone
exchange in the world had been open
ed in New Haven, Conn.,-the name
"Telephone" was an innovation. Alex
arder Graham Bells invention was
new and mysterious and the name
telephone" stirred the imaginations
of the residents along the upper Ohio
River. 1t was then six months before
the first telephone exchange was to be
opened in the state, and, of course,
long before the telephone was in gen.
eral use.
The three Maddy brothers, who in
1876 had become prominent in steam
boat circles on the upper Ohio River
through their ownership and opera
tion of the steamers "Salt Valley" and
Exchange" sought fitting name for
their new boat.
The telephone was a topic of much
discussion and on March A, 1873, the
Maddy brothers announced that they
had selected very appropriate name
for their new steamboat-"The Tele-
phone" Oddly enough, the bell which
they placed on the Telephone" was
formerly in use on the steamer eek
change" on which they had served and
had been financially interested. The
ship vas launched at Ironton, Ohio,
April 27, 1878, and about month
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise., 1938-09-16

later began her run between Cincin-
natl and Pittsburgh.
On November /, 1878, the "Tele-
phone" permanently abandoned her
Cincinnati and Pittsburgh schedule
and entered the trade for which she
was built, that between Wheeling and
Charleston, w. Va, the latter port be-
ing on the Kanawha River. On De-
cember 2, the Maddy brothers sold the
Telephone" to the Kanawha Valley
Packet Company, and the following
week she entered the Charleston and
Gallipolis trade. The Telephone" was
queen of the upper Ohio and Great
Kanawha rivers and did much to pub
licize the instrument from which she
derived her name in the early pioneer
days of the telephone industry.
After an interesting career on the
Kanawha and Ohio Rivers, she was
damaged by ice on January 2, 1885,
and sank. After having difficulties il
trying to raise her, the job was aban-
doned and the ship was sold to
wreckers.
The interesting story of the "Tele-
phone" was dug out of musty news
paper files and historical material by
Clarence A. Swoyer, of Columbus,
Ohio, chairman of the historical re-
search committee of the N. C. Kings
bury Chapter No. 2, Telephone
Pioneers of America. He became in
terested in the historic steamboat dur
ing the course of his research into the
early history of the telephone industry
in Ohio.
