i M of the Women‘s Former Husband In a
New York Hornltol-llls Suit for 020,000
for Alienation of his Wife's Allocllons
Recalled;
Norwallr people will be interested and
were little surprised to learn that Mrs.
l, Eva Divan and Harry Browcr were
married in Troy, N. Y., on December
15th last. The fact has just looked out
through the receipt of a letter written
by the former Mrs. Diver) to her moth-
onMrI. Sarah A. Brundugc, of (gain-
tard Place, Norwalk, informing her of
the wedding and stating that they are
3 now living in Troy, ‘
. People here will also be further our"
,, . prised to learn that Mr. Divcn died last
Wednesday in .New York, from the ef-
fects of a cancer on his knee. He had
been in failing health for some little
‘ time, and had been in a hospital. Tho
funeral services Wore held Thursday
f evening and the interment took phase
on the day following in Middle l’atten‘
. N. Y. ,
‘ During the summer of 1896 Mrs.
Diven conducted a millinery parlor over
LeGrondc Jackson's jewelry store in
Wall street. Near the street entrance
leading to her parlor and on the piazza
f the Norwalk Hotel Mr. Brewer could
. be seen almost any pleasant day. This
as coincident with the fact that be-
ween'the two a very close friendship
lied sprung up, soniuch so that Mrs.
Diven's husband, Mortimer J Divcn, of
New York, on September ll. 18%, insti-
tuted n suit against Mr. Brower, claim-
ll’ lug $20,000 damages for alienating his
; wife’s affections. The case never came
to trial, and the supposition is that it
:1 was settled by Mr. Brower for a nominal
; consideration.
Subsequently Mrs. Diveu brought suit
l '1 against hor husband for divorce on tho
grouudof cruelty. She was granted a
decree, which left her free to marry Mr.
Brewer. Just before the trial of tho
j divorce case he left Norwulk, and vory
‘ few know where he went, although it
i was reported that he had gone to
«, Denver. '
