Triplett Family - Lorna Lee Triplett - page 1 - Divorce papers

 

This is the first page for Grandma Lorna's divorce from her first husband Richard Gordon Hazelton.

Apparently Richard went back to Wisconsin where he married and had a daughter.

At this point in time - from what I found - all 3 persons have passed. I don't know if Richard and his 2nd wife had any grandchildren.
