Something I found when researching historical newspapers, I don't have any other info
on the family.
December 3, 1892
The Evening News, pg. 1
Lincoln, Nebraska
MARY WiLLOBY caught the ear of the court long enough to get a decree of divorce from her
Tom. They were tied in Tippecanoe County, Indiana, May 28, 1867, and since that happy
day Thomas has spent five years of the time in the state penitentiary for stealing. She
also said that Tom failed to support her and besides had treated her shamefully. She also
got custody of their five children, Thomas being adjudged as an unfit person.
This was found at Ancestry in the Indiana marriage database. A descendant corrected the
spelling of Thomas' last name.
