Newspaper aketches covering the life of Georges Clemenceau make mention that “The Tiger” was d vorced 28 years ago. é Madame Clemenceau was a native of Durand, Wisconsin. She was 73 years old and had been an invalid in Paris for the last ten years. Al- though separated from “The Tiger,” in letters to Wisconsin relatives, she denied as late as 1919 that they were divorced. When Georges Clemenceau was an exile from France and was teach- ing French in the seminary at Stam- ford, Conn, he fell in love with one of his pupils, who was a beauty. Her name was Mary E. Plummer and she was the belle of the village of Dur- , Wisconsin. They were married oO y | 4 . ‘eapolis June 26, it was announced Pi at hoo nar oe STATE TREASURER HOLDS FABULOUS St gira. som Sela det Ra a ang pad In Herrin, A. T. Pace heads a un-! at the meeting of the convention of 1870, Clemenceau yielded to the entreaties of his friends and re- turned to his native country, begin- ning his remarkable career. Three } children were born to the couple. The Wisconsin woman was happy and interested in his future, but there came a mysterious day when her dream of life-long happiness was shattered. Something developed —if has never become known what estranged them—and they sought sepal ithways ever since. Trette it years ago it was re- ported that Madame Clemenceau had died. The report was printed in the United States but her friends said no announcement of her déath was ever made in France or this coun- try. 7h D. Patterson, a Durand, Wis- consin lawyer, said last fall that it was the firm belief of many persons in that place that “The Tiger” still loved Mary Plummer, * jto obtain indictments on charges of those it believes respon- {sible for the death of Watt Daniel iand T.
