from The Republican (Danville, Indiana)—issue of Thursday, December 15, 1892—page 2, column 3:
[Suits Filed]
Jennie F. Craig vs. John H. Craig, divorce. Plaintiff alleges such cruel and inhuman treatment that she was forced to leave him. She asks for $1,500 alimony and the custody of their child. Mr. Craig has long been known as the heaviest men alive or that ever did live and he is therefore the heaviest man ever sued for divorce.
