TWO BENTON HARBOR WIVES OBTAIN DIVORCE

CHARGES IN BOTH CASES ARE CRUELTY AND NON-SUPPORT
Two Benton Harbor wives were granted decrees of divorce in the chancery court 
yesterday afternoon, and a singular feature of the proceedings lies in the 
fact that both obtained the decrees on the charge of cruelty and non-support.

Josephine Elson one of the complainants in the Elson vs. Elson case was the 
first to obtain a decree, and she was given the custody of three children of 
which the parties to the suit are parents.  Frances Appleyard, another wife, 
dissatisfied with matrimonial alliance, was also granted a decree from her 
husband John Appleyard.  The complainant wife was allowed to resume her maiden 
name Frances A. Helmer through the order of the court.  H.S. Whitney appeared 
as attorney in both cases.
