Three Generations Testify in
Interesting Case in Judge
Galloways Court.
YOUNG WOMAN WAS 17 YEARS
OLD WHEN SHE MARRIED MAN
Thirteen Decrees Granted Since
Court Opened in This City
Last Monday Morning.
. Three generations testified in the
divorce case of Fannie Whittaker vs.
G. M. Whittaker which was heard yes
terday hi Judge Galloway's court in
this city, the plaintiff's mother and
grandmother adding their testimony
to that of the young lady herself.
When Kannie McCune of Lebanon
was but 17 years of age, she married
G. M. Whittaker who was at that time
45 years old. Shortly after their mar
riage, which occurred on January 31,
1910, the ncwlywcds moved to Mon
tana to reside. When they had been
in Montana but a few weeks Whit
taker informed his young bride that
he did not care to support her Ion gee
and after giving her money to pur
chase a ticket back to Lebanon, he
deserted her, leaving her among
strangers. She returned to Lebanon
where she has since resided with her
mother.
liuforc granting her a divorce,
Judge Galloway gave the young wo
man some fatherly advice and severe
ly criticized her for marrying a man
nearly three times as old as she was,
telling her that he was old enough to
be her father. Whittaker's marriage
to Annie McCunc was his third mar
riage and on each occasion none of
the wives were over 17 years of age.
He had three children by his first
wife, one by his second, but none by
his last wife who was iriven a divorce
yesterday for desertion.
j Hesidcs the divorce issued by Judge
Galloway yesterday to Fannie Whit
taker, three others were also granted,
Pearl Wilkerson from Charles H.
Wilkerson, George D. Neely from Eva
It. Necly. It. VV. Miller from lcie A.
Miller. This makes a total of thir
teen divorces irranted bv fudire Gal-
loway since the opening of court in
tin's city last Monday morning.
