Marriage Notice: McFarlane-Claggett The marriage of Mrs. Elizabeth McFarlane, of Turner, and W. D. Claggett, of this city, was performed by Reb. Robert Ennis, at Turner, at 4 o'clock this afternoon. The bride has resided for years in the Turner neighborhood, and the groom is a pioneer Oregonian, and has lived in this city for years. Hi is a well-to-do and prosperous farmer. They will leave this evening for a short trip up the valley. The Daily Journal 25 Sep 1902, 3:1 DIVORCE: CLAGGETT SUED FOR DIVORCE AND PARTITION OF PROPERTY W. D. Claggett's recent series of legal embrogolios came to a climax this morning when his third wife, who was formerly Mrs. Elizabeth McFarland [McFarlane] of Turner, filed a suit for divorce in the ciruit court Thursday. The complain alleges that Claggett entered upon the present matrimonial venture at Turner on September 25, 1902, and that since that time he has treated his wife in a manner justifying divorce. Mrs. Claggett claims that her husband is of a sullen and morose dispoition and he is penurious to such an extext [extent] that he has refused to provide decent clothing for his wife and family and that he has offered Mrs. Claggett refuse meat for her food. Moreover, the complaint alleges, Claggett has used blasphemous language to his wife whenever she has mentioned to him the present state of affairs. According to Mrs. Claggett, he not only refuses to buy food and clothing for his family, but he will not even buy himself respectable clothing. One time, the complaint sets forth, shen Bill was in sore need of a new shirt, Mrs. Claggett bought one and presented it to him. Whereupon Claggett went into a fit of rage, telling his wife that it was none of her damned business whether he wore a shirt or not, and calling her names too vile to be set down in print. For three weeks, the complaint states Mrs. Claggett has been on the verge of starvation. This, she says, the defendant knew, and although he was possessed of ample property, he refused to provide for the plaintiff the common necessaries of life. And all this time, the paper further states, Bill was boarding around at the various restaurants in the city and at the houses of his relatives. He also took his two daughters to the restaurants that they might obtain a square meal while his wife remained at home starving. But, according to the complaint, Bill was not satisfied that his wife should remain at home in the empty pantry. He wanted her to vacate the place absolutely. To this end, he removed all the furniture to one of his farms. He even took with him the kitchen range. This action was the more lamentable when the plaintiff reminds us that she bought the furniture with her own money. Through three pages of fine print the bad side of Bill's character is set forth in detail. Then follows five pages and a half telling how rich Claggett is, about a dozen different farms or other pieces of pporperty being designated, and the document concludes with the prayer that when the marriage bonds are dissolved one third of these lands shall go to the plaintiff. Carson and Brown are the attorneys for the plaintiff. Daily Capital Journal 7 Aug 1908, 8:8 3rd MARRIAGE - Oran/Oren Lindsay, Mar 1917, Vancouver, Washington.
