Suit joins twice-remarried wife in divorce case
Ebenezer Hill Jr of Norwalk, a wealthy ironmaster, sues his wife Mabel Currie Hill for divorce in Bridgeport as she is now Mrs Henry S Priest of St Louis after Reno divorce last year. Hill claims the Reno decree was invalid, cites desertion on July 11 1910 after nine years of marriage. The case highlights an entangled web with Mrs Hill then marrying Judge Priest, longtime Standard Oil attorney, now a double-divorcee couple. Hill, son of Ebenezer Hill, heads the Connecticut Naval Militia and oversees Norwalk Iron Works.
