Luella S. Orewiler Burke v Galen L. Burke (Journal 14 p450 - 23 Nov 1888; p538 - 18 Mar 1889; Journal 15 case number 1980 – 5 July 1889; p86 – 12 Nov 1889; p206 – 3 Mar 1890; p387 – 28 June 1890; Roll 46 case number 1980 – 1888)
The couple was married in Wms Co on 30 Sept 1885 (Marriage V5 #717). This case was continued multiple times. They had a son Lee Burke, born 2 Aug 1887 in Pioneer, Madison Twp, Williams Co, OH. The first journal entries do not give reasons for this divorce action, but the final one stated he was guilty of gross neglect of more than three years. There was a continuance in Mar 1890 and on 28 June 1890 the court issued a divorce. Luella’s statements were deemed true, that she had a child, Lee O Burke, and was a proper and fit mother; she received custody of Lee. She was also to receive a reasonable alimony, a divorce, and Galen was to pay her $300 on a schedule for three years plus he had to pay court costs.
Galen (19 June 1856, OH – 5 May 1921, Florence Twp, Williams Co, OH; buried in Edon Cem) was the son of Jonathan and Phoebe Bratton Burke.
