Three local dirvorces granted by court
Among the divorces granted in the circuit court Friday there were three of 
local interest. Frank L. Gibbons obained an annullment of his marriage to Anna 
H. Gibbons. The nullment and the circumstances surrounding it were unusual. The 
couple were married in Baltimore while Gibbons was in the army. For two years 
his wife drew $40 a month and received other money from him. He was sent to 
France and on his return they went to Maryville to make their home. The husband 
worked in the mine and his wife went daily to the post office for the mail. One 
day he chanced to find a letter in his trunk addressed to his wife. It was from 
a Baltimore lawyer telling her that her divorce was under way and advised that 
she come to Baltimore when the case was tried. When confronted with the 
accusation that she was a bigamist the wife left his home after admitting a 
former marriage he said and has not been seen by Gibbons since.

Florence Bowman Hellinger of this city married to Wm. J. Hellinger on May 27, 
1918. She left him on January 18, 1920. She charged that her husband while in 
Tulsa Oklahoma, and later had affairs with other women. He treated her cruelly 
and struck her a number of times she said. She was given her maiden name.

Elizabeth Reiss of this city was given a divorce from her husband John Reiss 
and also the custody of her two children. Her husband left July 21, 1917. They 
were married February 2, 1906.
