Notes:

Divorced:
December 4, 1945

Plaintiff: Fannie Louise Burress Defendant: Emory Hamilton Burress

This cause came on this day to be heard upon the process duly executed upon the defendant by order of publication; upon the plaintiff's bill regularly filed at rules; the decree is properly entered thereon; and the cause regularly set for hearing by the complaintant, upon the plaintiffs affidavit that that defendant is not now engaged in military service of the United States; upon the evidence of the plaintiff and her witnessess taken in chambers in the presence of the Honorable Sidney L. Christie, Divorce Comissioner of McDowell County, after due and proper notice to said commissioner that a hearing of said cause would be demanded at this term of the court; and upon arguement of counsel on the part of the plaintiff upon consideration of all of which the court is of the opinion that the plaintiff entitled to relief prayed for in her said bill of complaint.

It is therefore adjudged, ordered and decreed that the marriage heretofore celebrated between the plaintiff, Fannie Louise Burress and the defendant Emory H. Burress, be dissolved and they are hereby divorced from each other from the bonds of matrimony.

The Court here calls to the attention of the parties that neither of them has the right to marry again until after 60 days from this date, unless they remarry each other and this cause having accomplished its purpose is ordered omitted from the docket.

NOTES: Emery and Fannie were later together in MI and stayed together until he died. I'm not sure if they never finalized the divorce, if they did get divorced and remarried or they just got back together and never remarried.

The story told by their adopted daughter Patsy was that Fannie moved to MI to be with her son, Grat Rose and that Emery followed her out there, painting his way to make money, and once there some how got her back.
