I find it sad that she was sold into White Slavery by her husband C.W. Lux, White Slavery falls under the Mann Act.
Mann Act -
The White-Slave Traffic Act, also called the Mann Act, is a United States federal law, passed ... The federal government's response was the Mann Act.
White-Slave Traffic Act of 1910. Long title. An Act to further regulate interstate and foreign commerce by prohibiting the transportation therein for immoral purposes of women and girls, and for other purposes.
This might be her obituary:
I made her a tree on Ancestry and added everything, I did check on Family Search and didn't find her there. At least a descendant will find what I have and maybe have more answers and family story.
