My maternal grandmother, Freda RUTZ/RUETZ of Napoleon, married Joseph D. JONES 13 July 1899 in Napoleon. This appears in the marriage record book. On the 1900 census she is listed as Freda JONES, living with her mother and siblings. On 7 Nov 1901 she married Albert (Alfred Dennis) D. BUSSELL, widower, in Napoleon. On the 1900 census He is listed as Albert RUSSELL, harness maker and Freda is listed as a divorcee with a daughter, Henrietta Jones, one year old. Does anyone know where I can find a copy of the divorce record for Freda and Joseph? Did they have child support then?
