| Minnie Dauterman Guzendorfer about 1896 |
Minnie Juliet Dauterman, born 17 April 1864, was married to my great grandfather's brother, Gustave George Gunzendorfer. I wrote about Gustave awhile back and was confused as to the end of their marriage, potential divorce, and how Minnie ended up taking back her maiden name. You can read it HERE.
But then a few weeks ago I found new information about Minnie.

Minnie must have been very strong for in those days, I'm not sure too many women would have pursued things. I don't know, maybe I'm wrong but then I found this.

My hunch was right in that Gustave left Minnie and from what I can find, she wasn't too happy about it. I'm going to keep searching and see if I can find information on how the case ended up. Then THAT will be my favorite discovery.
More research needed but this is an interesting rabbit hole I'm going down.
It's amazing to me that these stories made the newspaper. We complain about social media and lack of privacy, but even back then, gossip sold newspapers.
ReplyDeleteI love the first article's play on "liquid assets." Too funny.
"Liquid assets" - "Mrs Flesh" the other woman - wow, what a name! Man, what a case! Those old newspapers didn't hold back.
