That defendent Stated to Affiant that he would never live with complainant again and would give her one half of all his real estate for her support.

My testimony must be taken this week if (it) is to be used.
"The parties in this case are my Father and my Mother. I have been away from home most of the time for the last three years part of the time teaching part of the time going to school before that I lived at home all of the time. I know as far back as I can remember my Father has ben verry unreasonable toward my Mother and for the past four or five years he has been growing worse scolding her without cause. I have heard him use rough and violent language toward her I prefer not to use the language he did. I frequently remanstrated with and told him he was wrong in his actions it wasent often he would listen to me sometimes he would say it was my Mother's fault.
"It was verry seldam I cold see where she was to blame he is verry overbaring and tirnical tauward my mother and has ben so for five or six years (maybe longer) or as long as I can remeber and seams to bee growing worse they cirtenly can not live togather unless he changes his disposition."
Question from the Judge: "Do you know of eny fact matter or circumstance whitch would in enyway tend to wreak complaints case for Divorce if so State the same partickulary and fuly."
Answer: "I do not. I think she had ought to have a Divorce." Signed, Donna J. Harden
On 14 April 1913, Albert G. Day, Dora's attorney, writes to the Hon. Joseph Barton the Circuit Court Judge in Big Rapids who will decide the divorce case:
Dear Sir.
In (the) above case (Harden vs. Harden) I enclose the decree which I think the evidence justifies and think is proper.
Would you please examine proofs taken and submitted at last term, and I think you will say that his decree is proper.
Yours,
A. G. Day
P.S. I think the evidence and certificate cover every objection and suggestion that could be offered and I say, candidly, that oil and water cannot mix, and it is so with these parties.
