Annie was missing from the 1910 US Census, but her daughter, Florence Wenzel, had traveled from Jersey City, New Jersey with husband (?) William and daughter, Ottilie, to Detroit, Michigan and appear in the Detroit Census for 1910. Could Annie be close behind or even ahead?
And then there's this other so-called event of Annie's that would have happened before 1917, and that may have been another marriage. On her marriage application to Thomas W. Adams, her name appears as Sarah Crawford. That Crawford name comes out of the blue! The application (the information was most likely given by Thomas Adams) shows them both living in Los Angeles.
Since Florence and William were in El Paso, Texas at some time between 1910 and 1918, with daughters Ottilie and Barbara, could Annie have been there too? Barbara was born in Santa Barbara, California in 1911. Figure that one out. There was a lot of moving around between Texas and California. Maybe Annie followed them. How and where did she meet Thomas Adams? Tom was a photographer and had a photo studio in Oxnard while Annie ran a boarding or apartment house in Oxnard.
