divorced 17 Oct 1945 Wayne Co, MI;
divorce record;
Note: According to the divorce record for
James and Ruth, they were married in 1939, then divorced in 1945,
yet there is clearly a marriage record for James and Dorothy (see below
under marriage #2) in 1943 (although
they both stated it was their first marriage). Since Ruth was his wife's
name when he died, we assume they remarried
at some point.(?) Also, records state Ruth as the mother of the following
children, and the children were all born after 1945.
We would appreciate any input or clarification, as we want it presented
accurately.)
