Cornwall Widow Claim Spurs Contested Iowa Case
Just in Cornwall, a decree declared a woman the lawful widow of John Wallace who died in Iowa. Evidence showed John Casley left his wife Lusanina Casley decades ago, changed his name to Wallace, and lived as husband and wife across Iowa and Colorado. The dispute stirred Calhoun county with suits for attorney fees and attempts to settle the Cornwall claim for $800, reflecting a famed life romance entering court.
