I've noticed a lot of people identify Margery as the woman of Boston who died in the Bar Harbor ferry accident of 1899. It's interesting because there is no conclusive evidence to support it.

Census records for Margery was married to Amos Mower and living in San Francisco California. That's not to say she couldn't have returned to Maine to visit family but I find it highly unlikely that the woman identified as from Boston who died in that accident was in fact Margery.
