Loose Records, Jefferson Co Alabama
Jefferson Co Circuit Court – 'Old Chancery'
Box 8287, Case 6755

Lucy M. LeSourd  vs.  Harvey C. LeSourd
Married: 25 Dec 1900
Divorced:  7 May 1913

Father:  George M. Morrow

1910 census for Jefferson Co AL shows Geo. Morrow, wife Susie, and son Frank 
living in Glenn Iris Park, which was then an upper class neighborhood, with 
very fine homes.  George was shown as a Druggist in the previous census, but in 
this one is listed as having his 'own income.'  They had four servants, a maid, 
a cook, a butler, and a 'coachman.'  Also living with them were dau Lucy 
LeSourd (33) and her husband, 'unnamed' LeSourd, (38 b.Ohio), married 10 years, 
but with no children.

Interesting notes from the divorce depositions:

Lucy said she had known Harvey two years prior to their marriage.  
     "He was an actor at and prior to our marriage.  I was also on the stage.  
We were in the same company for several months before our marriage.  I quit the 
stage immediately after our marriage, but he continued to follow that 
profession for about one year and a half.
     He went in business as a Stock Broker on the Consolidated Exchange in New 
York City and continued in that business until December 1909.  In the summer of 
1910 he went into business in Birmingham as a Manufacturer's Agent for pumps 
and machinery, and continued in the business until April 1912."
     She further said that though "I was not on the stage, after we were 
married, I travelled with him most of the time, and after we located in New 
York, we boarded a part of the time, but kept house most of the time."

Also testifying was Lucy's brother-in-law D.(Dan) A. Greene, who was married to 
Lucy's sister Jordan (36 in 1910).

Harvey LeSourd had moved to Chattanooga TN to live with his sister.  The 1910 
Tennessee Census shows an Anna B. LeSourd, 58, b.Ohio living in Chattanooga.  
She is in the household of her daughter Una (40, b.OH) and Charles Sherwyn, 
married 18 years, also with no children.  It is possible this was Harvey's 
mother and sister.
