David E. Temple v Alida Myres Temple (Journal 15 p14 – 28 Mar 1889 case number 2037 ½;; Roll 47 Box 156 case number 2037 – 24 Jan 1889)
By Pamela Pattison Lash (updated 13 July 2011)
The couple was married on 12 Jan 1886 in Williams Co, OH (Marriage V5 #779). BTW, some of the divorce cases do NOT give a marriage date or place; this one did not. I start the detailings with that data (if I can find it), but I often have to do the research using other sources, so if you want to look at the actual case, which I encourage you to do, you may not find the marriage data within the documents.
David charged Alida with adultery and he wanted custody of their child plus the divorce. This case had a great deal of witness summons such as:
For Plaintiff – George Gilson, US Diggs
For Defendant – Hezediah Edwards, Rev Charles Kribel, M/M JW Barger, Mrs. Solomon Myers, Ellen Clum, Mrs. JW Boyers
This is all I had to work with despite many frames of witness summons on microfilm.
Alida charged David with extreme cruelty on a cross petition. Adultery was not proven but Alida received the divorce. David was found to be guilty of gross neglect. A visitation schedule for child Sina Alberta Temple was set and reasonable alimony of $500.
Sina Alvista “Bertha” Temple, daughter of DE Temple and Lydia Myres, was born on 12 Sept 1887 in Montpelier, Williams Co, OH (Births V2 p101).
David E. Temple, son of (William) Benjamin and Mary Carter Temple, was born in Nov 1860, probably Williams Co, OH. Father Benjamin Temple was a native of Columbiana Co, OH; second wife Sarah was a native of Seneca Co, OH.
It is tempting to assume Sarah (see later census info) is his mother, but the marriage records for Williams Co, OH show two marriages for Benjamin Temple.

Alida Myers next married Thomas J. Ingram (b. Aug 1852 OH) on 19 Nov 1892 in Williams Co, OH (Marriage V6 #814). There must have been a divorce because Thomas J. Ingram married Catherine E. Woolf on 22 Sept 1897 in Williams Co, OH (Marriage V7 #411). They are found in 1900 Montpelier, Williams, Ohio; Roll: T623_1332; Page: 8B; Enumeration District: 118.

Fountain Grove Cemetery Records (Bryan, OH) show Frank Eager (1855-1934) was buried beside his wife Kate Meek Eager (Dec 1856 – 2 Jan 1896). Since he did not die until 1934, there must have been a divorce sometime between 1900-1910 between Frank and Alida, who was listed in the next two census records as “widow”.
