I question the place of divorce. It is my hypothesis that divorces are granted at the county court houses across our land. The county seat of Faribault Co., MN is Blue Earth.

It is my hypothesis the divorce occurred at the county courthouse in Blue Earth, Faribault Co., MN, not Elmore. - D.A. Navorska - Twp. 25N, Delaware Co., OK - viii May MMXIII <>
