Two Divorce Cases
Alleging cruel and inhuman treatment, Fidela Reece asks judgment of divorce from her husband, Chas. L. Reece. They were married Nov. 16, 1882 and lived together until November 1916. Twelve children were born to the couple, ten of whom are now living. In her complaint the wife alleges that her husband struck her, cursed her, and failed to provide for the children and herself. She asks for the custody of the children and an absolute divorce. They live north of Plainfield.
