Wealthy Ohio man forces wife to serve as servant after divorce
Alfred F. Elliott, a rich Harrison County resident, keeps his estranged wife Mary as a paid servant in his Cadiz area home. She performs kitchen work, waits at table, shines shoes, and obeys every order while the couple’s children treat her as a servant, not a mother. Elliott defends the setup as humbling but practical, with Mary constrained to total obedience and no visitors, amid public shock over the long misused marriage.
