Divorce Action in Williams County, Ohio - Gansmiller, 1905 (Newspaper)

By Pamela Pattison Lash

Sometimes a divorce action does not go through to a final decree.  Obviously this is an example of such as the couple continue the marriage to the time of the husband’s death, years after this.

Bryan Democrat, 6 April 1905

Daisy Gansmiller v Frederick Gansmiller is the title of another divorce case filed in which the plaintiff charges that since Jan 15, 1905, the defendant has refused to provide her with the necessaries of life.  She asked for an injunction, which was granted by Judge Killitts last Friday, restraining the defendant from disposing of his personal property.  They were married in Bryan on Mar 23, 1904.
