WAAC wins annulment because mate refused a Catholic ceremony

Mineola, New York –
Supreme Court Justice Cortland A. Johnson here today had granted an annulment of marriage to Gloria Genevieve Munroe of 163 Clement Ave., Elmont, a member of the WAACs, from Donald Robert Munroe, now of Bellmore. They were married July 14, 1940.

Mrs. Munroe testified that when she was married, her husband agreed he would later go through a Catholic marriage ceremony. She said that after marriage, she reminded him of his promise and he refused, saying that he thought It was a “silly notion.” She left him on Jan. 1, 1941.

Mrs. Munroe was inducted into the WAACs two weeks ago and she expects to be called for active duty soon.
