From Morning Herald (Uniontown), Marcy 18, 1938:
“He Wouldn’t Work: She is Given Divorce
Bessie Mildred Acklin of Uniontown Freed
Charges of desertion won a divorce Thrsday for Bessie Mildred Acklin, 26, of 23 Prospect street, from Harry Edward Acklin, 30, formerly of Carmichaels No. 1, whom she married November 26, 1928 in McClellandtown.
Four years later—November 16, 1932—her husband left her, she revealed in the action that resulted in the decree signed by Judge Harry H. Cotton. Acklin left home telling his wife he did not intend to live with her and that he did not expect to return to her and their two children, the wife charged in the libel.
The couple, for three of their four years of married life, resided with her people.
‘That was one thing he never wanted to do very much of—he didn’t want to work; he didn’t want to provide a home for me; he wanted to stay back and forth with my people and his people,’ the wife testified.”130
