I did not find a marriage record for Minnie and I am actually wondering if that was Adela nickname or middle name or the newspaper got her first name wrong. Nonetheless he was a character for sure. I was thinking he should of played dead and then he wouldn't of had to pay alimony and support, but the booze probably infected his judgement in many ways.
Harry died 3 Dec 1979 in Grand Rapids, MI.
