Quit by Nagging Wife, Man Wins Decree Here

Camden Courier-Post - February 16, 1939

Allen Stokes testified before Advisory Master Linwood Erickson that his wife, Vera, whom he married in November, 1930, left him five years later. He lives at 210 Powell street, Gloucester. “She went to Philadelphia with our daughter, Miriam, who is six, and she wouldn’t come back. Though she nagged me all the time, I did try to persuade her to return.” Divorce was recommended.

Decision was reserved in the suit of Mrs. Martha Scully of 1089 Thurman street against her husband, Henry, of 205 Carpenter street. “He told me he never had any money for me because he had spent it treating his friends. Then he left and never came back.” The son, Robert, is now 14.
