Eugene J. Brown
Eugene J. Brown and my great aunt Gladys Marie Price were married in the town of St. Joseph, Berrien County, Michigan on July 20, 1918.According to a certified copy of their marriage record, Mr. Brown was a salesman, his mother's maiden name was Baker, and his father's name was Jacob Brown.Although they were married in St. Joseph, Michigan, they were apparently residents of Chicago.The purpose of my inquiry here is to obtain details as to the duration of their marriage, and when or if they obtained a divorce prior to their next marriage.My great aunt married a man named Herman Chandjie in Chicago on Dec. 28, 1920.Additional research indicates that Eugene married another woman named Claris Zimmerman some time in the early 1920s and wound up in Los Angeles, Calif.; they were reported on the 1930 census.I have been unable to locate Mr. Brown on the 1910 or 1920 censuses.Apparently he was a wealthy stock broker who had already retired by the time of the 1930 census.He was born around 1893.I want to start obtaining information on my great aunt's divorces, as I have identified an additional three other of her marriages.I have yet to find documentation on any of her divorces; that assumes that she actually did get divorces from the various men she married.
