She asked for a weekly allowance of $10 and $1,000 alimony and restoration of her maiden (actually first married) name of Daisy M. Jackson.

A Third Attempt Proves No Better --- Text Stolen from ReigelRidge.com !! ---


     Daisy remarried Ferington on 7 Feb 1925 in Hillsdale, Hillsdale Co., Michigan, with Arthur L. Guernsey, judge of probate, offciating.22,23
     Daisy and Ferington appeared on the 1930 Federal Census of Huntington Twp., Huntington Co., Indiana, enumerated 25 Apr 1930, reporting they owned a home valued at $600, and did not own a radio. Their children Ferdinand and Thomas were listed as living with them, as was his brother Thomas.48
     By 1931 Daisy was living with her daughter Mary on South Jefferson St., on the outskirts of Huntington. Only scattered issues of the city directory are available, so a complete picture of her whereabouts is not possible, but no evidence has been found that she lived with her husband after that. About 1937 she was living at 819 Ash, Huntington.49,50
     Daisy has not been found in the 1940 census. She was not listed with Ferington and their son Ferdinand, nor was she with her other children, though two of her sons have not been found in that census either.51
     Daisy was living with her brother Jesse about 1946. By 1949 she was living at 963 William St.52
     It appears that Daisy and Ferington were divorced a third time, but when, or even if, that happened not clear. He is shown in the 1940 census as married. His death certificate, with their son as informant, shows him as divorced when he died. Her death certificate, with her daughter as informant, shows her as widowed.24,25,26
