Two Divorce Cases
[…] Ada Royer seeks legal separation from her husband, Harry Royer. She declares that her husband has been guilty of many cruelties to her and that he has hit her when she was in ill-health and poor condition. She also charges that he has cursed her and their children. They were married June 30, 1912 and separated Dec. 13, 1915. Two children were born. She asks for $1,000 alimony, the custody of the children and money to support them.
