No. 17441 Equity In The Circuit
Court For Washington County, In
Equity
The object of this suit is to pro-
cure a decree of divorce A. Vinculo
Matrimonii by the complainant
from the defendant.
The Bill of Complaint states that
the parties were married May 30,
1925, and that they resided in Wash
ington County, Maryland until May
18th, 1915; that five children were
born as a result of said marriage;
that since the date of the marriage
the Complainant has behaved her
self as a faithful and kind wife;
that Notwithstanding, the Defend
ant without any just cause or rea-
son deserted and abandoned the
Complainant, and that said aband-
onment has continued uninterrupt-
edly for more than eighteen months
prior to the filing of this Bill; and
said abandonment is deliberate and
final and the separation of the par
ties beyond any reasonable hope or
expectation of reconciliation; that
the Complainant is now and has
been a resident of Washington
County, Maryland, all her life; and
that the Defendant is a nonresident
of the State of Maryland, and does
not reside therein. The Bill then
prays for a divorce A. Vinculo Mat
rimonii; for the custody of the min
or children to be awarded to the
Complainant, and for further relief
and for an Order of Publication.
It is thereupon this 4th day of
August, AID. 1947, by the Circuit
Court for Washington County, in
Equity, ordered that the Complain
ant by inserting a copy of this Order
in some newspaper published in
Washington County, Maryland, once
in each of four successive weeks
prior to the 5th day of September,
/ A. D. 1947, giving notice to the said
absent defendant, 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 22nd day of September, 1947,
to show cause, if any he has, why
a decree should not be passed as
prayed.

darkness, came INTO Wilmington.
