A Brief Note From 1886 About Two Marriages

From the March 3, 1886 New York Times:

Oswego, N.Y.–Mrs. Isaac Rury of New-Haven, Oswego County, was arrested to-day on a charge of bigamy. The story told by Mrs. Rury is a peculiar one. She married her first husband 15 years ago in Hawkinsville, Oneida County, when she was 15 years old. After her marriage she discovered that her husband was not a man. She left him after living with him six months and has not seen him since. She married Rury in 1884. She alleges that her second husband was acquainted with the facts in the case. She had him arrested a day or two ago for brutal treatment, and claims that the present proceedings are brought against her for spite.”
