In 1952 I asked my father: "Who owns the adjacent parcel to our property?" He said the "Barrs". They've always been a mystery to me. Never met a Barr. Lalla sued first for being deserted, actually sought reconciliation, James countersued for a divorce. After the divorce Lalla sues Laura, James's sister, for $50.000 for ruining her marriage. James was having affairs with a couple of actresses. I don't think James spent much time in New Ipswich, he had properties in Boston and Long Island.
Great story about the Barrs! A woman whom I worked for, who was a member of the summer “colony” and later retired here, called their home Barr Harbour, with a hint of salacious going’s on there!
If the former Mrs. Barr was indeed cruel to her husband, and it sounds as though she may well have been, why does she get alimony?

Sign of desperation?
