Anna was married before to a man who had died while driving a team of horses, he had epilepsy and had a fit and fell from the wagon and was trampled. They had a daughter together. Anna was 15 when she married him. One of the newspaper articles gave these details and it is a wealth of family information for her descendants. Before living in Montana she had lived in Milwaukee, WI. The husband she shot and killed was Juro Kacar (1887-1924) they had a daughter named Zorka.
I found Anna in the 1930 census she was living with Sam Yarich as his housekeeper in Butte, Silver Bow, Montana, USA. He was a Miner. I lost her after that. But I am thinking they may have gotten married as his status says married. I found his death certificate it also says he was married but no wife listed.
