Peaches Browning, nee Frances Belle Heenan, met real estate developer Edward West Browning when she was 15 & he was 51. With the permission of both her parents, the pair married on her 16th birthday. Just six months later, Peaches left the marital home & pursued a divorce which at the time was granted only for adultery. Alternatively, she sought legal separation & cited cruelty on the part of her husband as the cause. "Daddy" Browning responded with a counter-claim of abandonment. Peaches provided titillating details & seemed particularly disturbed that her husband kept a honking African goose in their bedroom. Ultimately, the judge determined that Peaches abandoned "Daddy" without cause & granted legal separation with no obligation for alimony. Peaches' went on to a career in vaudeville & remained legally married to Edward until his death in 1934. Thereafter, she married three more times but, sadly, died at age 46 after slipping in her bathroom.
