Frank Thomas WINEBRENNER and Julia STEVEY were divorced in 1906 in Allegany Co., Maryland. A Remarkable Habeas Corpus
Witnesses Gave a Divorced Wife a Bad Name
She Too Was Very Severe
She Wanted Possession of Her Two Children and
Gave Former Husband Bad Name - The Latter
Proved a Good Character
While Judge Boyd was hearing the appeal docket this afternoon, Judge Henderson heard a habeas corpus case in his office. It was the case of a divorced wife trying to get possession of her two boys, aged 10 [Noah] and 12 years [Frank], from the divorced husband and father. In many respects it was one of the most remarkable habeas corpus cases heard in this court. The woman, Julia Winebrenner now lives at Mt. Savage, and the man, Frank Winebrenner, at Borden Shaft. The latter alleged that the woman left his home with his brother and was now living with him. Winebrenner produced a number of witnesses who testified to his good character in every particular. The wife took the stand and made it appear that her former husband was the meanest man that ever lived. She said that he laid around with another woman, refused to give her any money or to provide for the children, locking his money up and keeping it until she estimated that he must have thousands hoarded away. She averred that none of her children were born under the Winebrenner roof for reasons which she gave. Winebrenner had witnesses who testified that the third child [Olin] born to Mrs. Winebrenner had all the characteristics of a negro child, that she got drunk and cursed like a trooper. Mrs. Winebrenner swore that Winebrenner knocked her down and would stand over her with knives and sometimes with a gun. Winebrenner's witnesses testified that they never knew him to get drunk. The two boys swore that their father was good to them and that they wanted to live with him. The testimony, however, was conclusive that Mr. Winebrenner (aside from his former wife's opinion) was a decent man and the court remanded back the children to his care and keeping. Mr. P. C. Barnes appeared for Mr. Winebrenner and Mr. C. G. Watson for Mrs. Winebrenner. The Cumberland Evening Times, April 11, 1906

Note: Frank Winebrenner had disowned Olin, the third child, not seeking custody of him and whom he allowed to live with Julia.
Note: In the one census just prior to Olin's birth, the census shows a negro boarder living with Frank and Julia. Julia's eldest child, Grace Viola, was born out of wedlock to Julia & Paul Clancey.
Now, John E. Winebrenner (Jan 1841 - dod unknown) married Margaret Preston (1845 - dod unknown) on 6 Nov 1869. They had no children. On 30 Apr 1872 John E. married Mary Beall (1852 - dod unknown). They had five children.
Note: the 1900 census indicates Mary's dob as Sep 1844.
