Ruth P. Corder d/o Clarence & Jessie May (Wilson) Corder circa 1907
I'm attempting to locate a Ruth P. Corder, she was the daughter of Clarence E. Corder born in Perry County, Ohio and Jessie May Wilson also born in Ohio.Clarence and Jessie got a divorce and both of them remarried.
Ruth was married to a man, but very shortly found out that he was a jerk (Charles Davis), and was already married to another woman, so whe was granted a divorce and took her original name back.The man was placed into the Michigan jail system, but I lost track of her after 1928.
"*** The Newark Advocate and American Tribune, Thursday, November 15th, 1928 pg. 3
Ruth Davis of this city was granted a divorce from Charles Davis on the ground of bigamy, and restored to her maiden name of Ruth Corder, Davis who is now in the penitentiary in Michigan, as the result of bigamy charges preferred against him, married one girl Jan 14 1925 and the Corder girl July 6 1925 without obtaining a divorce from the first wife."
Jessie was remarried to a man by the name of Roland Fredrick Dennis and moved to Wayne County, Michigan.
Clarence was remarried to a woman by the name of Nellie C. Dupler and also lived in the Detroit area, but are buried in the Cedar Hill Cemetery of Newark, Ohio.
