"Wife of William M. Tyler Accuses
His Mother of Causing Separa
tion After Elder Woman In
herited Some $250,000.
Two hundred thousand dollars $100,
000 actual and $100,000 punitive dam
ages is the sum demanded of Mrs.
Parmelia L. Tyler, of Portland, by her
daughter-in-law, who accuses her, in a
suit filed in the Circuit Court yester
day, of breaking up the home of the
plaintiff, Mrs. Vina I. fyler, of alienat
ing: the affections of her husband, Will
iam M. Tyler.
Mrs. Parmelia Tyler is a widow, 84
years old, and one of the heirs to the
estate of the late A. M. Barber, a Chi
cago millionaire, who was president of
the Barber Match Company before his
death In 1913. Her share of the prop
erty is estimated at $250,000, and that
of her brother, George T. Fanning, of
381 Crampton street, Portland, is esti
mated similarly.
Mrs. Vina Tyler is living in a lodging-house
at 469 Salmon street, while
her husband, who, she says, has deserted
her at the instance of his mother, is
living, according to Attorney J. R.
Greenfield, who filed the suit, at 160
Kast P'orty-fifth street. Mrs. Parmelia
Tyler is now residing at the Salisbury
apartments, East Twenty-third street
and Sandy boulevard, although both
she and her son are said in the com
plaint to have lived with her brother,
Mr. Fanning, until recently. Mr. Fan
' Ding is now in California.
Hatband Seeking; Divorce.
A divorce suit, charging cruelty and
infidelity, was filed in the Circuit Court
here by Mr. Tyler last Fall, but dis
missed at his own request about a week
ago. Immediately another suit for di
vorce was begun by him in the Clack
amas County courts, and is now pend
ing. Mrs. Vina Tyler declares that her
mother-in-law is primarily responsible
for the desertion of her husband and
the lack of affection which led to the
divorce proceedings. She contends it
is all part of a long-conceived plan to
get rid of her and shut her out of any
share in the wealth of Mrs. Parmelia
Tyler.
The Tylers were married in Chicago
October 5, 1891. The complaint says
they lived happily together until the
'"determined interference" of Mrs. Par
melia Tyler, who sought to poison the
mind of her son against his wife and
to "induce him to abandon her, by sub
tle contrivances, coaxing, promises of
money and property and by threats of
disinheritance." He is an only son.
Opposition Follows Inheritance.
Mrs. Vina Tyler charges further that
so determined Is her mother-in-law that
she shall not share in the wealth that
even now the elderly woman is prepar
ing to ''divest herself of actual pos
session of her easily-gotten wealth, so
as to disinherit her daughter-in-law in
case her son should fail to secure a
decree of divorce."
Most of the opposition of Mrs. Par
melia Tyler came after the inheritance
of her fortune in 1913, it is maintained.
For three years past Mrs. Vina Tyler
declares her mother-in-law has refused
to recognize her, has treated her with
: ilent contempt, sneers and snubs and
lias considered - her a social, intellec
tual and moral inferior. Such treat
ment, says the plaintiff, has ruined her
health, broken her spirit and destroyed
her purposes and ambitions in life.
In May, 1914, the younger woman
charges, Mrs. Parmelia Tyler induced
her son to break up his home with
his wife in Chicago, to go to his
mother's home in Lyndon, Kan. There,
the plaintiff says, she was treated as a
maidservant and nurse, while her hus
band received money which allowed
him to travel about and forget her.
During his travels his mother kept up
a clandestine correspondence with him
and would not tell his wife his where
abouts, maintains Mrs. Vina Tyler.
Wife Accompanies Other Here.
In July, 1915, Mrs. Parmelia Tyler
came to Portland to live with her
brother. She brought her son, and his
wife insisted upon accompanying them,
.-ays the wife in her complaint. Upon
arrival here Mr. Tyler and his mother
went to the home of Mrs. Fanning,
while his wife was compelled to go to
a rooming-house among strangers, as
serts the plaintiff. Mrs. Vina Tyler
further asserts that since that time her
mother-in-law refused to allow her
even to communicate with her husband.
Mrs. Vina Tyler received $50 a month
from her husband until the filing of the
klrst divorce complaint, when court pro
ceedings were necessary to compel pay
ments, said Attorney Greenfield.
