Description
MOREMEN, Justice. This suit was instituted by appellant, Ollie Howard against appellee, Carlos Howard, for divorce and alimony upon the ground that appellee had been guilty of such cruel beating and attempted injury of appellant as indicated an outrageous temper in him and probable danger to her life, or great bodily harm, from remaining with him. The petition was subsequently amended to include an allegation of cruel and inhuman treatment. Appellee counterclaimed upon the ground of cruel and inhuman treatment, and sought an absolute divorce. The court entered a judgment granting to appellant an absolute divorce and awarding to her alimony in the sum of $400. Appellant, believing the amount to be insufficient, appealed from that part of the judgment which fixed the amount of alimony. The parties to this suit were reared on adjoining farms owned by their respective parents, and their friendship began in high school. Appellee was in the army for a period of three and one-half years, and, after his discharge from the service, he returned to his father's farm. He renewed his acquaintance with appellant and for about a year before they were married on June 28, 1948, they kept steady company. At the time the marriage ceremony was performed, he was 27 years old and she was 23 years old. They lived together about 76 days; separated, and appellant filed suit for divorce on November 8, 1948.
