Woman seeks custody of child in DC Supreme Court
Louise C. Wells petitions the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia to compel her former husband Fen ton G. Wells to allow her access to their child. The couple, divorced in May 1897, previously had custody arrangements and monthly support that were modified in June 1890, granting the father custody and suspending payments. Wells allegedly moved the child to Virginia, and Mrs. Wells, residing at 2249 Pennsylvania Avenue, asks for restored visitation and permanent custody. Justice Clabaugh set a show cause date of August 16.
