Was pleased to now learn more about Kenneth Thurston Straw who married my cousin Dorothy Jordan. Enjoyed seeing the photos of their two children. Do you have any information relevant to the dissolution of the Straw-Jordan marriage. I also do not have the actual wedding date or location for Kenneth and Dorothy. I do have much information on Dorothy's family (her father and my grandmother were siblings)

"Milwaukee - Kenneth Straw hasn't any idea of how far $15 will go towards supporting a family. Fifteen dollars was his salary and his little wife was supposed to support the family larder on that huge amount. When she ran short a few times he sued for divorce in circuit court here, charging her with extravagance. He also said she refused to get his breakfast."
