from The Republican (Danville, Indiana)—issue of Thursday, September 21, 1922—page 1, column 4:
HUSBAND IS PLAINTIFF IN THIS DIVORCE SUIT
Verner Barlow alleges cruel and inhuman treatment in his suit for divorce from Esther K. Barlow. He says that the defendant is the victim of a high and ungovernable temper, that she is of a nagging, quarrelsome, fault-finding disposition, that nothing that the plaintiff can do seems to please her, that she has repeatedly criticized, ridiculed and rebuked the plaintiff in public places and before his friends, all without cause and to his great chagrin and mortification; that on many occasions while in a fit of rage, the defendant has struck and cursed plaintiff; that on many occasions she would become sullen and morose and would refuse to speak to plaintiff, that she has left the home and refused to return for days.
Plaintiff desires the care and custody of their four-year-old son for a part of the time, with the privilege of visiting the child and having him in his home. Parties were married Sept. 26, 1917, and separated Aug. 23, 1922. They live near Brownsburg.
