1912 and 1913 Newaygo County Circuit Court Records. These Records indicate that Dora E. Harden began divorce proceedings against David Harden on 9 February, 1912. David was served with a supeona at that time. He did not appear. Circuit court records for 26 April 1912 state, “Personal service of a Supeona was made upon defendant Feby 9, 1912 by R. B. Hall deputy Sherriff of said County as appears by the return of said officer now on file in this Court, and Cause that the default of said defendant for want of an appearance was entered April 26, 1912. That defendent Stated to Affiant that he would never live with complainant again and would give her one half of all his real estate for her support. That the witnesses for complainant are sacattered some living in Newaygo and some in Grand Rapids and all are busy at work and there fore it would be not only very inconvenient for them to attent a session of Court in White Cloud, but also expensive.”

Three depositions were taken, all three indicated David was verbally abusive, one indicated he was also physically abusisve. Donna June Harden, testified as follows,: (Note, the stenographer taking notes is an uncertain speller).

    “My age is twenty years. My Brother Carl is fifteen year’s old, my occupation is school teacher. I am now teaching school in the township of Ensly, Newaygo Co. Mich. I have a vacation this week, next week I will commence teaching again and will busy for the next twelve weeks and could not get away to testify. My testimony must be taken this week if (it) is to be used.
    “The parties in this case are my Father and my Mother. I have been away from home most of the time for the last three years part of the time teaching part of the time going to school before that I lived at home all of the time. I know as far back as I can remember my Father has ben verry unreasonable toward my Mother and for the past four or five years he has been growing worse scolding her without cause. I have heard him use rough and violent language toward her I prefer not to use the language he did. I frequently remanstrated with and told him he was wrong in his actions it wasent often he would listen to me sometimes he would say it was my Mother’s fault.
    “It was verry seldam I cold see where she was to blame he is verry overbaring and tirnical tauward my mother and has ben so for five or six years (maybe longer) or as long as I can remeber and seams to bee growing worse they cirtenly can not live togather unless he changes his disposition.”
    Question from the Judge: “Do you know of eny fact matter or circumstance whitch would in enyway tend to wreak complaints case for Divorce if so State the same partickulary and fuly.”
    Answer: “I do not. I think she had ought to have a Divorce.” Signed, Donna J. Harden

On 14 April 1913, Albert G. Day, Dora’s attorney, writes to the Hon. Joseph Barton the Circuit Court Judge in Big Rapids who will decide the divorce case:

Dear Sir.
In (the) above case (Harden vs. Harden) I enclose the decree which I think the evidence justifies and think is proper.
Would you please examine proofs taken and submitted at last term, and I think you will say that his decree is proper.
        Yours,
        A. G. Day
P.S. I think the evidence and certificate cover every objection and suggestion that could be offered and I say, candidly, that oil and water cannot mix, and it is so with these parties.

Says Local Men Heirs to Fortune
Henry Harrison, Agent of English Estate, States Hardens Get $160,000
Grand Rapids Press
, March 18, 1922, page 1
    That two Grand Rapids residents, D.L. Harden and S.J. Harden and also Harold H. Harden of Sparta have come into a fortune rated at approximately $160,000, is the statement made by Henry Harrison, whose home is near Sault Ste. Marie and who is an agent interested in the settlement of estates. The other heirs, according to Mr. Harrison, are Inez Zolver of Craigmon, Ida., Rose B. Kincaid, Mabton, Wash., and Sylvia Daniels whose address is not know but it is believed she lives in Detroit.
    The estate comes from great-uncles in England. Two of them are dead. There are two others living. It is expected the inheritance left by the two dead uncles will be apportioned to the heirs in a short time.

Brothers Take Calmly News of English Fortune
Grand Rapids Press, March 20, 1922, page 2
Stories of English fortunes to which they may be heirs, as told in a story in the Press Saturday, failed to excite Samuel J. Harden 815 Oakdale-av., and David L. Harden, 517 1/2 Jefferson -av, brothers, when they were informed of the fact.
    “I’m going out on my regular lodge work trip as usual and let English fortunes take care of themselves until I receive official notice to collect my share,” said Samuel Harden who is district deputy of the Modern Woodmen of America. “Our ancestors left England nine generations ago,” he said, “I have heard tales of paternal anger which drove out a son and his unwelcome bride. The couple and their descendants lived in Ireland, Switzerland and Germany. My grandfather and father came from Germany to Pennsylvania.”
    David Harden, who engages in the wallpaper business, likewise was calm when informed of the news that he would get a fortune from England. A third brother, Harold H. Harden of Sparta, admitted he felt somewhat excited over prospects of a fortune, but he said he guessed he’d keep on with his job in the factory until he knew something more definite.”

Notes from Alice Hope Race Joyce indicate Dora was born in Indianapolis, Indiana. However, other sources say she was born in Medina, Ohio. 1880 census says she was born in Indiana. Kent County death records state she was born in Ohio.

Dora was not listed as living with her family in Medina in 1870. She may have been the 15 year-old Dora Hitchcock listed in this census:

WORDS COMPOSED ON THE DEATH OF MRS. DORA HARDEN, IN LOVING MEMORY

Mother has gone and left me lonely,
    Made a void which none can fill,
But the Saviour sayeth calmly,
    “Troubled heart, oh! peace be still.”

Mother’s words of love and truth
    Are now hushed forever more,
But we know she dwells with Jesus
    On that happy, blissful shore.

Though we miss her form and presence
    In this land of toil and strife,
But she has crossed Death’s silent river,
    She hath gained eternal life.

I will follow this blessed Savior
    That dear mother lived to love,
And the ties of earth are broken,
    Still she lives and reigns above.

Jesus, Saviour, keep me faithful
    ‘Till my soul has reached the goal,
Then I’ll meet my darling mother
    In that homeland of the soul.

There no parting words are spoken,
    There no tear bedims the eye,
There no ties are ever broken
    In that haven beyond the sky.

Every one who trusts in Jesus
    And obeys the Lord’s commands,
You can meet the long-lost loved ones
    Who have gone to happy lands.

Jesus Christ, the world redeemer,
    Has invited all to come;
Now, dear children, serve Him truly,
    You shall gain a heavenly home.
