Jennie M. Hayne Pickle v Elmer C. Pickle (Journal 15 p146 – Dec 1889; p404 – 28 June 1890; p518; Roll 47 Box 166 case number 2095 – 13 July 1889)
By Pamela Pattison Lash (updated 19 December 2011)
The couple was married in West Unity, Brady Twp, Williams Co, OH on 3 July 1887 (Marriage V5 #1006). The couple did not have any children. Jennie charged her husband with providing no support or maintenance for the necessities of life. She has lived off the charity of others and her own labor for support. She stated that Elmer abandoned her immediately after the marriage and was guilty of neglect and extreme cruelty.
Furthermore, she married him when she was 16 and he was 24. She married against her will or the wishes of her living parents. Elmer used fraud and deceit. He told her he had consent from her mother and stated such to the probate judge when he obtained a license, but in truth he did not have what he swore to the judge. He told the judge that Jennie was 18 instead of her true age of 16. He never intended to live with her and was guilty of a fraudulent marriage contract.
There were several continuances. The divorce info did not state whether a divorce was actually granted. I have not been able to find info on Jennie but I was able to uncover some data on errant husband, Elmer.
Elmer, born Feb 1862 in Williams Co, OH, was the son of Abraham Wellington and Eliza/Louisa J Combs Pickle. The Pickle family was listed in the 1850 Brady Twp, Williams Co, OH but then moved to Fulton Co, OH, and much later settled in Ransom, Hillsdale Co, MI and parts West.
