Judge Pugh heard the contested divorce case of Millia N Chenoweth vs Thomas Chenoweth. They were married Feb 1, 1876 in Pickaway County, and have no children. Each one of the parties owned a farm at the time they were married. Plaintiff claims that defendant did run through with his farm, and that she supported him and his six children by a former marriage, from the proceeds of her farm, until she got tired of the business. She wants a divorce on the grounds that the defendant fails to provide for her; and she also asks for alimony, and to be restored to her former name. Mr. Chenoweth was for years proprietor of the Chenoweth Mills at Harrisburg, worth $10,000, which were swept away by a flood.
