  Court Case	28 Apr 1931	Indianapolis, Marion, Indiana, USA   [7]
  	Jeannette McARTHY, Plaintiff, vs Luther M. CLAXTON, Defendant,
  	In a trial, "We, the jury, find for the plaintiff and that plaintiff recover of and from the defendant the sum of One Hundred Sixty Dollars Damages." In a letter to the US Army on 29 Feb 1932, Ms. McARTHY claimed she "was run down by a car driven by Sergeant Luther M. Claxton, . . . and was removed to the City Hospital where I regained consciousness some four hours later." "All efforts to collect this amount from Sergeant Claxton have been fruitless." "I am appealing to you as a last resort." In an internal US Army communication 15 Mar 1932, WT CONWAY, Lt. Col., details Sgt. CLAXTON's version of the accident on 15 Nov 1930, witnessed by a milkman, where Ms. McARTHY walked into the car as it was turning at an intersection. He also states that Sgt. CLAXTON immediately stopped his car, and took her to the hospital, and then reported the accident to the police. Sgt. CLAXTON did not appeal the jury verdict because he could not afford it. In other communications the US Army declines to get involved, and on 29 Apr 1932 Lt. Col. CONWAY writes that "This judgement has been satisfied by Sergeant Claxton's payment of $80.00, which amount I had to raise for him."

  	First met
  Marriage	5 Nov 1912	Lexington, Fayette, Kentucky, USA   [18, 19, 20]
  	The marriage on 5 Nov 1912 was performed by the Rev. J. M. MEALER, and witnessed by the bride's mother, Mrs. James RAE, and by Dr. Julia WASHBURN (relationship unknown). Based on their son's birth on 13 Jan 1913, Elizabeth was 7 months pregnant when married. Two days after the marriage a newspaper article listed them as having received a marriage license. About 3 weeks later another article stated that they were married in May 1912, apparently an attempt to cover up the timing of the pregnancy. The article also stated that Luther was from Boston, MA, but I think this was a further attempt to glamorize the marriage because there is no information that he was ever near Boston. His US Army records state that he was born in Tennessee and stationed in Somerset, KY at the time of the marriage. According to the court divorce documents, Elizabeth and Luther had a prior separation from Jun 1914 until 9 Feb 1915 while he lived in Somerset, KY and she returned to live with her parents in Lexington, KY. While living in Lexington on 6 Apr 1919, they separated permanently after Luther slapped Elizabeth during an arguement. The court Depositions paint a picture of verbal abuse by Luther over several years. - WW COCHRANE IV [14, 15, 16, 17]

• Notes

  Begining in 1921 with his second son's (Martin Luther CLAXTON, Jr.) birth certificate, Luther Martin CLAXTON switches his first and middle names around, and apparently continues to use Martin Luther CLAXTON, Sr. until his death, including on his tombstone. This does not appear to be a legal action, as his military records continue after 1921 with his name recorded as Luther Martin CLAXTON. - WW COCHRANE IV [6, 13, 26] (Medical):10 Dec 1916 (Age 33) Military Physical: Weight - 151 lbs.; Height - 5'9"; Eyes - 20/20; Hearing - Normal. Previously treated for Tonsillitis, Typhoid fever, Malaria (while stationed in the Philippines), Measles and Mumps. [7]
