Married3131 1903 Jun 243131 at home of Wildes W P W Veazie, 1343 Pacific st., Brooklyn, NY3131.
Maine Biographical Sketches2986, p 156, lists the marriage date for Louise and T Lloyd Hollister. The referenced newspaper announcement3131 of their wedding gives Louise's full name. Louise Lord Veazie and T Lloyd Hollister were married at the home of Louise's brother Wildes Veazie. Louise's niece, Doreen Veazie, was maid of honor. John Hollister was best man.
Maine Biographies lists "T. Lloyd Hollister of New York City" as the husband of Louise L Veazie, daughter of Jones Perkins Veazie, giving the date of their marriage. In 1900, one finds Thomas Lloyd Hollister, born Jul 1869, occupation "Law," boarding355 in the household of Daisy Bunker. That census lists his birthplace as Missouri, his father's birthplace as New York, and his mother's Illinois. From that information, one finds Lloyd Hollister, born ~1870, in the household3133 of J. I. (born New York) and Anna (born Illinois) Hollister.
In 1906, Thomas Lloyd Hollister, a lawyer of NYC, was arrested3128 in Bloomfield, NJ, on charges of embezzlement preferred by "his aunt, Mrs Etta C Townsend." For other information on this incident, see notes for Louise Lord Veazie.
Although Louise lists herself in 1910 as widowed, T Lloyd Hollister is mentioned as a surviving son of John Isaac Hollister in John I. Hollister's obituary3134
In 1880, Louise was living with her widowed mother, Susan T Veazie, and her brother William T Veazie. In 1900, she resided with her brother William, and her aunt Etta C Townsend. She married3131 Jun 24, 1903, at the Brooklyn home of her brother Wildes, T. Lloyd Hollister. Thomas Lloyd Hollister was a lawyer in New York City. On Dec 13, 1906, Hollister was arrested3128 in Bloomfield, NJ, on a charge of embezzlement, preferred by Louise's aunt Etta C Townsend. He was committed3130 to the county jail in New Jersey as a result. Etta Townsend said Hollister had collected the money, but concealed the fact and deposited the money to his own account. Halsey Barrett, Hollister's lawyer, said that Hollister had taken his 15 month-old son from the Franklin St house and secreted him. Hollister would not reveal where the child was located. It was alleged that Hollister had threatened his wife. Hollister claimed there was a conspiracy against him by his wife and family.
Hollister later explained3132 that he had been arrested and jailed on Dec 13, 1906. The charge was laid before the Grand Jury, the charge was dismissed and Hollister was released. Hollister claimed the whole trouble had been instigated by Louise's brothers Will T Veazie and Wildes P Veazie, and by Louise's aunt, Etta Townsend. Louise had wanted a divorce but Hollister refused. He asked to have their son Thomas, and after Louise refused, Hollister had taken the boy and left him with a woman in Jersey City. Young Hollister was returned him after a day.
Louise V Hollister, head of family and listing herself as "widow", resided3127 in New Jersey with her son Townsend Hollister, her aunt Etta C Townsend, and a house servant. Mrs Louise V Hollister married3129 Jun 17, 1911, at her home in Bloomfield, NJ (while in sickbed with inflammatory rheumatism,) Dr. Charles Harold Gilbert. They were married by Rev. William T Willcox of the Westminster Presbyterian Church, Bloomfield. That article states Louise had divorced Thomas Lloyd Hollister 5 years previously. The (Hiawatha, Kansas) Brown County World (newspapers.com), Aug 4, 1911, relates, perhaps apocryphally, that Louise Veazie Hollister had divorced Mr. Hollister because "he would not kiss her when he left."
The Boston (MA) Globe, Aug 25, 1920 (newspaperarchive.com), reports that Mrs Louise V Gilbert of Watertown, filing for divorce, claimed that her husband, Charles H Gilbert of Quincy did not support her and also treated her cruelly and abusively; they were married Jun 16, 1911. On Sep 28, 1920, the Boston Globe reported the continuing saga of the divorce request. Mrs Gilbert claimed that her husband beat her and threatened to break her bones. Charles Gilbert filed counter charges, testifying that she was a victim of hysteria, melancholia, frequently lost her temper, and at least once every 30 days threatened to shoot him. He denied all charges about striking her and threatening her. On Feb 1, 1921, the Boston Globe reported that Dr Charles H Gilbert was found in contempt for failing to pay $12 a week alimony to Mrs Louise V Gilbert, pending a hearing on libel for divorce. The case was continued two weeks with the understanding that Gilbert would pay the money, including arrears of $204, or go to jail.
The Boston Globe (Nov 4, 1922) reported that a divorce had been granted Sept 20, 1920, to Louise V Gilbert of Watertown on the grounds of cruel and abusive treatment. Dr Charles H Gilbert, a Quincy physician, was, however, jailed until further order because he failed to meet alimony payments. That article relates that Mrs Gilbert had been treated by Gilbert, he serving as a nurse while she was ill, and that after their marriage, she supplied the funds for his course in a medical college.
