Jefferson Co AL Loose Records
Box 8601, Case No. 4310
Will Blake vs. Eugenia Blake

Genealogical info from records:

Eugenia married Will Blake when she was 14, in Aug of 1901.  At the time of the 
divorce in September of 1907, she would have been around 20.  Her mother was 
Mary Reese, her sister was Dora Graham.  A description of those involved was 
given by Mary Reese in her deposition:

Eugenia was "bright in color ... mighty near white ... red headed and curly 
hair."

Dora was "brown skinned."

Mary called herself "light brown," and said Eugenia's father was a "light 
mulatto."

Mary testified on the side of Will Blake.  Horace Bell was named as the 'other 
man' in Eugenia's life, and was referred to by Mary Reese as "a darky."
