Narrative

[Death notice for Lorenzo DeWitt, from the Miami Daily News-Record, 5 Mar 1929, p7.]

[headline] LORENZO DeWITT BURIED

COMMERCE, March 5 - Lorenzo DeWitt, 75 years old, who died here Monday at the DeWitt home, was buried in G.A.R. cemetery after funeral services at 2 o'clock this afternoon at the Commerce Pentecostal church by the Rev. John Lynne. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Julia DeWitt. The Mitchelson Undertaking Company was in charge.

 

Narrative

It should be noted that in the Greenleaf Journal from Greenleaf, Washington Cty, Kansas, issues of 2 Dec 1886, 16 Dec 1886, and 23 Dec 1886, summons for Lorenzo's first wife Mary were issued for his complaint of divorce, filed on the grounds of "abandonment of [Lorenzo] by [Mary] for more than one year." Her appearance was required on or before 20 Jan 1887, with failure to appear or respond being a grant of Lorenzo's petition for divorce. I have not found record of further proceedings, but it does seem likely that their divorce was at some point granted; Lorenzo remarried in 1893.

His death notice from 1929 lists only his wife Julia as a survivor, indicating that he had no surviving children from either marriage.
