Mary was 16 when she married prominent local physician, Dr. John Handy, who turned out to be a Jekyll / Hyde. They had 5 children and after 12 years of an abusive marriage, Mary divorced her husband.
Her lawyer, Frank Heney gunned the doctor down in a duel and was exonerated because he said he was attacked.
Mary died a year later of cancer having not seen her children for two years as her husband had sent them to live in San Francisco with his mother.
