Bicycle obsession ends marriage in Norwalk divorce case
Horace G. Ferris of Youngstown Ohio, a former normal post office clerk, is noted for valuing his bicycle over his wife in an uncontested divorce filed by Ethel F. Broadhurst Ferris of Norwalk. She gains custody of two minor children, Hazel and Myrtle, while Ferris reportedly left home for long rides to Albany and other East points, often without explanation and with inconsistent support. He was later ordered to pay $8 weekly in Norwalk city court.
