cruel treatment and failure to provide and charges that while she was sick in bed for 3 weeks Marshall cursed, harassed and annoyed her. (I am thinking that must have been when she was sick from the bowel problem mentioned in a newspaper in November.)

The Jeffersonville Daily News dated July 25, 1914 – Judge Requiring Husband to Support Child Judge James W. Fortune, in chambers heard the application of Mrs. Jean Craig who has sued Marshall E Craig for divorce, to be granted temporary allowance for the support of their child, and an order was made for $4.00 per week. Marshall’s attorney filed a plea in abatement based upon the fact that Mrs. Craig was a resident of Louisville, was employed in a grocery, lived there and sent her daughter to a school in that city.
A demurrer (a demurrer is an objection) to the plea in abatement was filed stating this was not the proper time to raise the question. The demurrer was sustained by Judge Fortune who asserted that it was Craig’s place to support his wife and child no matter where they resided.
In her testimony, Jean testified that she was employed in a grocery store in Louisville. She said she not only clerked in the store but cooked for others employed there. Jean said she received $5.00 a week for her work.
