She claimed she came to California with a Follies Company, which went broke and disbanded all the company. She was a comic actress. Her husband was also an actor but was in the Army.
I did find these 2 records that might be her husband.
Name: Mrs L J Farrell
Departure Date: 15 Feb 1934
Departure Place: San Francisco, California
Arrival Place: Manila, P I
Ship: Grant
Rank: Wife Capt Inf
Florece did get into more trouble after her stay in San Quentin, she was arrested 22 Jan 1927 in Savannah, GA, reason unknown, then again in Memphis, TN for forgery 26 Jan 1927.
According to the San Quentin record she died 5 Feb 1944 in New York City, NY.
She said she had to sell her jewelry and trunk at a pawnshop to get money to live, when it ran out she started passing checks.
I am not 100% the documents posted above are her husband, but that is the closest records I found for him.
I wonder what she died of she wasn't that old, did her husband leave her or are those records about them?
