Woman's tangled marriages and a costly alimony case
A Baltimore woman's life threads through multiple marriages and a web of alleged bigamy. After marrying James Cosgrove Jr. and his army death claim, she spent $16,000 pursuing a claim, then wed Edward Godfrey, who died within months. Four years later she again married James Cosgrove Sr. A Richmond man, unnamed in fragments, is cited as another husband in the tangled tale.
