Wife Wins a Big Suit in Novel Like Case of Barbara Parker
Barbara Parker spent three decades seeking her estranged husband Walter Parker who after leaving her had married another woman and amassed a fortune. The U S circuit court of appeals reversed a lower ruling, awarding Barbara Parker and her daughter Eleanora portions of Walter Parker’s estate, clarifying that a deserted wife retains the matrimonial domicile and can claim inheritance from both marriages. The decision hinges on prior Missouri and California ties and notes Parker’s big fortune and later death in 1908. The report also covers the Columbia Hatstars Society meeting at Shoreham and memorials for founder Vicheel J Weller with remarks from local judges and university figures.
