Supreme Court of Iowa January 24, 1890 (Edgerton v. Edgerton)

Given, J.

These parties were married in April, 1884, she being then twenty-six years of age, and he forty-four. They lived together as husband and wife until April, 1887, when she left his home. Unseemly contentions and disputes arose between them early in their married life, and continued to disturb their peace and comfort as long as they remained together.
