Totally. Divorce never happened to REAL people!

You know Indianapolis was a divorce mill in the 1870s . Schliemann came rot Indiana and bought property to establish residency in order to divorce his Russian wife to marry a Greek one. He kept a journal and Eli Lilly himself edited it and published it. There was a movie about Reno too. Staring Helen Shaver.

Barb,

In the 40s and 50s divorce was taboo, something that only happened in Reno, Nevada. We herd stories about that places from time to time, but they were just stories. Right?

Sounds like another interesting one. Who knew about divorce ranches? Not me.
