Notes - Tom and Edna had a difficult marriage, and difficulty obtaining a divorce. The requirements for divorce in NY in the early 20s required evidence of infidelity, including witnesses. Their divorce process ran into trouble when the court appointed referee did not initially think there were sufficient grounds. After another two months of wrangling, the court granted a divorce.
Divorced:
- After being denied 2 months earlier, divorce granted.
Divorce Filed:
- First attempt at divorce fails. From the article: “'In m opinion,' says the referee, 'the allegations of the complaint are insufficient, and the complaint should be dismissed’”
