both parties spoke about the marriage and their feelings for one another but the trial went nowhere and the divorce was finalized Dec. 30, 1878. It is unclear if she divorced her second husband, Thomas Hookey, or simply ended what had been an unconventional union. After eight months of marriage she ordered Mr. Hookey to leave and gave him a payment of $5,000 cash. Mr. Hookey pressed for alimony, which Dr. Chase refused. Dr, Chase stated that Mr. Hookey had lied about being wealthy and was in fact after her wealth. However, years later she would pass herself off as Sarah T Hookey, the widow of Thomas while living with her daughter and son in law.
