| Orville Fisher sues for divorce and custody of Leslie Fisher States that Orville and Ella lived together as married couple until 14 Jul 1917, "during which time he conducted himself as a true and indulgent husband. On the last named date without apparent reasonable cause the defendant left the plaintiff and has since persisted in her desertion. There are two children, Vernon Fisher, who is married and lives in Pittsburg, Kan., and Leslie Fisher, aged 17, who resides with the mother, at Lyons, Kansas." The "true and indulgent husband" line is laughable given Orville alcoholism and criminal history throughout their marriage. |

| Court fight over the estate of Ruthwin Floyd Foster 1922 Apparently a big row over the estate of Ruthwin Floyd Foster wherein grandson Bert Martin (so of daughter Louisa Foster Martin, from Rithwun's first wife Lydia Watson) and daughter Susan C. Shryack (from second wife Mariah Charter) sue the rest of Ruthwins's heirs "for partition and for other relief." There are several people listed in this notice as heirs who do not appear to have a direct martial/famial link to Ruthwin Foster; e.g. Edith and Revy M. Martin, Lydia E. Stuckey, Harold Simonson, Charles O. Logan and and Emma Houtchens. Note clear why some of the Fosters who should be heirs are not listed. |
