Marie was in trouble before in 1913


She came to Montana fro  California so I did some digging and I found 2 newspaper articles about a women with the same name and her husband tried to kill her.

Even though the newspaper article has the husband's name as Manuel and her husband on her prison record as Juana, it is possible with more research to see if the go the name wrong and this could be her.

I didn't find any census records. So now we wait and see if a family member has been looking for her. I get lots of comments here on my blog posts and emails from descendants thanking me for my research. Maybe one of hers will show up. Or even Fred's.
