FINAL DECREE: And thereupon this cause came on to be further heard and finely heard on this October 24th,1947,before the Hon.J.R.LEWIS,Judge of the County Court of Lauderdale County,Tennessee,upon complainant's original bill filed herein,upon the order pro confesso heretofore taken and entered against the defendant,GUS L.FITZGERALD,upon testimony of the complainant and her witnesses in open court and upon the entire record in this cause and from all of which it duly appears unto the Court as follows; That the allegations of the complainant's bill are fully sustained by the proof.That the parties were married in Ripley,Tennessee,on October 9,1928,and have lived together in Lauderdale County,Tennessee,continuously to the present time and they had one child,a daughter born to this marriage and who died at the age of 17 months.Complainant was born MATTIE SMITH in Lauderdale County,Tennessee,on February 19,1899,and is now 48 years of age.The defendant was born in Lauderdale County,Tennessee on August 9,1885,and is now 62 years of age,each of the parties have been married once before. That the complainant made the defendant a good dutiful wife and she waited on him and administered to him and especially so during a spell of recent sickness which the defendant experienced and he did not appreciate her efforts and he left the complainant in order to spite her and moved to the bottom and has been staying there in a trailer house surrounded by colored people and that in a spirit of malice he has circulated a number of false stories including the circulation of stories that the complainant had threatened to kill him,all of which stories were untrue and known to the defendant to be untrue and for the purpose of hurting,embarrassing and damaging the good reputation which the complainant has borne.The Court finds that the defendent has over a period of several months pursued a studied course of nagging and complaining at the complainant and told people that she had a mean and bad disposition when actually the oppisite was true,all of which was a part of the defendant'sstudied course of action to injure and hurt the complainant.The Court finds that the defendant would have sullen spells and refuse to talk to complainant and refuse to pay small bills which became due and doing a number of things calculated to and which did hurt and embarress the complainant.The Court further finds that the defendant has discussed his domestic affairs with the tenants on the place,telling them stories which he knew they would repeat.The Court finds that the complainant is a person of sensative disposition and that she has worried to such an extent of the defendant that it has made her highly nervous,causing her to be under the care of a doctor,and the court finds that the defendant has been guilty of such cruel and inhuman treatment or conduct towards her as to render further cohabitation unsafe and improper as to render it unsafe and improper for her to be under his dominince and control and that she is entitles to an absolute divorce from the defendant.The Court finds that it is to the best interest of the complainant,mentaly and physically,that she be granted an absolute divorce from said defendant and that she gave him no just cause or reasonable excuse for his misconduct. Now,therefore be it ordered,adjudged and decreed that the bonds of matrimony heretofore existing between the complainant,Mrs.MATTIE M.FITZGERALD,and the defendant,GUS L.FITZGERALD,be and the same is hereby severed and she is granted an absolute divorce from said defendant and be restored to all her rights as an unmarried woman and she is further given the perrogative of going by the name of MRS.MATTIE MIDYETT,if she so desires.
