25 Divorces Granted In Carroll County In 1924

Democratic Advocate, January 11, 1924: 25 Divorces Granted In Carroll County In 1924

25 Divorces Granted In Carroll County In 1923—During the year 1923 the clerk of the Circuit Court for Carroll County issued 389 marriage licenses, and during the same period there were 25 divorces passed and granted; a small fraction over six per cent of the marriage licenses issued turned out in divorce; not so bad for Carroll county, comparing it with Baltimore city, where the percentage of divorces is about 25 per cent of all marriages granted are divorced.

I have the number for this past year at the office. It's something like 700 weddings and almost 400 divorces, and an increasing number of civilian weddings - which I think is odd/sad considering that CC is still a mostly rural/conservative community.
