Supreme court slows widow compensation amid remarriage rule
The West Virginia Supreme Court ruled Ella Cale not entitled to compensation as John Cales widow after remarrying within six months of divorce. Cale, a Crab Orchard resident, had divorced William Ryan in 1923 and married John Cole who died in 1937 while employed by Crab Orchard Improvement Co. The court said the six month remarriage prohibition was not met. Also, the court dismissed a mandamus petition on Mannington charter election and remanded a Marion County divorce case, while a separate ruling challenged residency and jurisdiction in Anderson v Anderson.
