Biography

• Parentage: William L. Wiswell is listed in both the 1850 and 1860 censuses of McKean Township, Erie Co., PA in the household of William and Ruth Wiswell. However, in the 1860 census enumeration his occupation is listed as "domestic". In William Wiswell's biography in "The History of Erie County, Pennsylvania", the author reports that he had four chlidren, and the only one who might be a son, Albin, is reported to have died in 1845. Consequently it is not clear if this William Wiswell is a son of William and Ruth M. Wiswell.^1,2,3,1,2,3

Biography

• Birth: about 1902, IndianaO.¹
• Marriage: to Marie Smith, 27 March 1923, Kalamazoo, Kalamazoo County, MichiganO, age ~21, "Donald Nicholas and Marion Smith," by Marin Luther Fox, clergyman.
  It would appear that at least in some respect this marriage would not have been considered entirely legal, as Nicholas had been prohibited by order of the court from remarrying for 2 years when he was divorced in 1922 in Wexford County, Michigan.
  
  Groom: Donald Nicholas, age 20, residing Manton, Michigan, born Indiana, laborer, parents R. A. Nicholas and Ida Judd, married once before
  Bride: Marion Smith, age 16, residing Kalamazoo, born Netherlands, no occupation, parents Geert Smith and Leentje Ten Cate, never married
  Witnesses: A. William and Annie Longjohn, both of Kalamazoo^1,2

  Gladys Nicholas v. Donald Nicholas, divorce, 22 April 1922
• Donald Nicholas and Marie Smith
  Separation: about 1924.³
• Residence: 1924, Manton, Wexford County, MichiganO.⁴
• Occupation: 1924, Manton, Wexford County, MichiganO, farm laborer.⁴
• Donald Nicholas and Marie Smith
  Reconciliation: about May 1925.³
• Donald Nicholas and Marie Smith
  Separation: 15 July 1925.³
• He and Marie Smith filed for divorce on 19 October 1925 in Kalamazoo County, MichiganO+, "Marion Nicholas by Mrs. Annie Longjohn her next friend v. Donald Nicholas," for reason of non-support.³
• Divorce granted: from Marie Smith, 5 January 1926, Kalamazoo County, MichiganO+, age ~24, "Marion Nicholas by her next friend v. Donald Nicholas."
  Donald Nicholas never appeared in court and did not contest the divorce. Custody of the minor child, Marion Arleen Nicholas, was awarded to her mother. Donald Nicholas was further ordered by the court to pay his wife the sum of one dollar in lieu of her dower of property rights. It was further ordered that "the question of requiring the defendant to contribute to the support and maintenance of the minor child herein shall be reserved for further consideration and for adjudication and determination upon the filing of a petition therefor [sic] by the plaintiff and notice thereof to the defendant." It is unclear if Marion ever filed any further petition in that regard.⁵
