Case of Allmand vs. Allmand Discloses Some Family History Now on Trial in Circuit Court
[From Monday's Daily Argus.]
The circuit court is engaged with the case of Allmand vs. Allmand, a suit brought to set aside a divorce and a deed. The suit is brought by Frank J. Allmand against his former wife, Anna Mary Allmand. It seems that the couple were divorced some time ago, but the divorce case was not contested. Mrs. Allmand secured a divorce upon the ground that her husband was and had been for some time a common drunkard. Allmand claims he knew nothing of the divorce. Some time previous to the divorce proceedings, the home had been deeded to Mrs. Allmand. She claims this was done to save it as it was mortgaged and the mortgage was about to be foreclosed. She undertook to pay the interest and save the property. Allmand claims the property was deeded to his wife with the understanding that it was to be retained as a home for both. Therefore when she sought to sell the property he wished to enjoin the sale and commenced the present suit to set aside the deed and likewise the divorce.
The property originally cost $700, it is said, and Allmand made some improvements on it. It is now mortgaged for $1,200. Mrs. Allmand was trying lo sell it for $2.000. The property is situated on Packard Street.
