Flora Stucker Asks Divorce
Files Petition in the Common Pleas Court Through CA Bowersox
Against her Husband, Eugene Stucker
Charges of gross neglect of duty are mentioned in the
divorce petition filed in common pleas court by Flora Stucker against her
husband, Eugene Stucker, as grounds for the suit.
The plaintiff in the cause avers that she and the defendant
were married December 20, 1884, and three children were born to the union. During their married life, the
plaintiff declares that her husband failed, refused, and neglected to supply
her with the ordinary comforts of life – failed to clothe her, furnish proper
and sustaining food, and refused her money although he was able to do so.
When she was sick several years ago, the plaintiff states,
her husband refused to pay the medicine and doctor bills which were caused by
her illness. She was compelled to
work out, sew and accept every way, which was open to her to provide, support,
and maintain herself and living child.
She declares that she asked for money and was refused with gross and
profane language.
Mrs. Stucker prays divorce, possession of certain household
goods and whatever alimony the court may deem equitable.
