DIVORCE PAPERS OF JACOB & IDA (WOLF) HAHN 1888-89

The papers discussing the divorce of Jacob C. and Mary Ida (Wolf) Hahn are located in the Lancaster County Archives.  Many thanks to the staff there for locating and copying these for me.

Ida Hahn v. Jacob C. Hahn, case term December 1888-9, and the decree date is August 17, 1889

The papers do mention a child (Irvin) and do state that Jacob left Lancaster County due to his inability to pay debts.  According to the written statements, he did not pay support to either Ida or Irvin, and Ida requested a divorce on grounds of dissertation.

Note: Ida's lawyer was A.O. Newpher, a relative through her mother's family - possibly an uncle.
