Hulda(h) Diehl/Deal Burchell v Richard H. Burchell (Journal 14 p535 - 14 Mar 1889; Roll 47 Box 155 case number 2034)- 17 Jan 1889 - See Native Sons Gone Wrong, Lash, 2001, p8-9
By Pamela Pattison Lash (updated 8 December 2011)
The couple was married in Wms Co, OH on 7 Jan 1885 by George E. Coy, JP (Marriage V5 #581). Huldah charged Richard with being willfully absent for three years or more and with gross neglect. She said on 7 June 1885 he refused to care for her maintenance and comfort. He was a strong, healthy man and earned wages. She had to provide for herself through her own labors. She requested a divorce, restoration of her maiden name of Diehl, and reasonable alimony. A divorce was granted along with an alimony schedule of $500 to be paid in installments.
Richard, born in Apr 1865, was a native of Bryan, OH, the son of John and Ellen Burchell, natives of Ireland. The Burchells were enumerated in the 1870 Bryan, Pulaski Twp federal census, p49-50, as John 48 IR laborer, Ellen 33 IR, John 11 OH, Mary 10 OH, Richard 6 OH, George 4 OH, and Michael 2/12 OH.

Richard said he’s not guilty but now retracts his plea to guilty. He pays a fine of $10 plus court costs but he’s in default of paying the money so he was committed to a jail term.

William Aungst (the blacksmith shop owner/employer of the Burchells) paid his sureity of $200 and Richard is to keep the piece for two years.
