Research Notes:
A descendant reports: "I do know they were divorced in the mid to late 40's in Indiana. James married twice following that, and Minnie never remarried. I do know that she was married to James Riggs (prior to James William), but he died shortly after their marriage--within a year, I believe-- probably due to pneumonia."
