Illinois Appellate Court voids many marriages across states
A southern Illinois Appellate Court ruling declares remarriage within a year after divorce illegal even if performed in another state. The Nehring case holds the second marriage invalid, creating potential criminal liability for the parties and affecting inheritance and social standing for children born to such unions. A Cairo Division train wreck near West Union killed Harry Osbrook, with multiple cars damaged and detours imposed. Osbrook, recently married to an Arcola girl, died after the rear brakeman failed to place a protective red light.
