Annie Taylor Wenzel, Again

I've been thinking about the reasons Annie would have used Crawford on her marriage license.  Some reasons may have been:

1.  She was married to Mr. Crawford between the time of her divorce from Peter around 1896 (she had a child, George, with Peter in 1898) and 1910 when she is not found in the 1910 NY Census in Poughkeepsie. What happened to Mr. Crawford? Annie is not in Detroit, Michigan where her daughter Flora is with William Lieberknecht in 1910.

2.  She was hiding from Peter Wenzel.  I doubt he would have had the funds to travel to California, and how would he have found out she was married again?

If anyone has any suggestions about these reasons or have some other possible explanations, please do make some comments.

I still haven't found the death and burial places for Annie and Thomas W. Adams, or any concrete evidence that Thomas W. Adams is the Thomas Winfield Adams born in Texas, the one I thought was in Long Beach with a deceased wife, Lizzie, who died in 1909.

Now both Annie and Thomas are missing. But there are death records for a Thomas W. Adams (wife L) in Los Angeles 2/8/1927; Solano Co. (wife K) 9/11/1929; and San Diego Co. 10/1/1931, (no wife's initial).  In 1927, Annie and Thomas were still in Oxnard; there's a newspaper article mentioning them, or him.
