Biography

Early Life

Anna was born in February of 1859 in Yazoo, Mississippi (see research notes below about her birth year) to William Henry Simmons and Anna Eliza Ross[1][2] [3] [4][5]. Around 1864, her father died from wounds sustained in battle near Macon, Georgia, and her mother died not long after, leaving her an orphan as a very young girl[3][6]. According to one newspaper, Dr. J. J. Steinriede, then a surgeon  serving aboard the Ram CSS Arkansas, became a sort of godfather to Anna and her sister Pauline and made sure they had all they needed (he apparently was a friend to their father)[3]. Although the two were legally adopted by their grandparents John and Nancy Simmons in 1866[7], the two are seen living with Dr. Steinriede in 1870 [8]. On May 1st, 1869, she became a student at the Nazareth Academy at Nazareth, Kentucky, and was educated there until June 25th, 1874[9]. The School was unique in that, in addition to teaching young women music, art, and home economics, they were also taught the sciences and mathematics[10]. The school was run by the Sisters of Charity, a Roman Catholic order of nuns, which explains why one newspaper, in addressing to the school that Anna attended, referred to the school as "the convent in Nazareth Ky"[3].

Marriage to Dr. Steinriede

On September 8, 1874, at the age of 15, Anna married Dr. J. J. Steinriede at a plantation belonging to her grandfather, Captain John Simmons, in Yazoo, Mississippi [3] [11][12]. Her grandfather's plantation was called Oakendale Plantation[13]. Apparently, her marriage to Dr. Steinriede was arranged by her grandmother and only reluctantly, if at all, agreed to by Anna herself[14][15]. Not long after getting married, they settled in Yazoo County, Mississippi, where they lived for the following years [16]. In the 1880 census, they are listed with the following children: John William (aged 4), Marie (aged 2), and Pauline (aged 5 months)[16]. On July 14, 1883, Pauline passed away and was buried in Glenwood Cemetary in Yazoo[17]. Sometime after that, Anna had a son named Leon Bernhard who sadly died as an infant around October 24, 1884[18].

Elopement Scandal

Main Article: Anna Josephine Steinriede / John Irwin Elopement Scandal 1885

Around February 1885, Anna moved to Memphis, Tennessee, with her family[19]. Around April 9th of that year, Anna was involved in a scandal where it was widely published in many newspapers nationwide that she had eloped with her African-American Coachman John Irwin[12]. The scandal began when she fled her husband after an argument sometime before April 10, 1885. She traveled first (accidentally by getting on the wrong train) to Springfield Illinois, then to St. Louis, Missouri where she met John Irwin and then together they fled to Chicago where they stayed for a few weeks[15]. At some point, John Irwin separates from Anna and she takes up work as a housemaid briefly before becoming destitute and turning herself in to the police on May 5th, and returning to her husband by May 8, 1885[15][20]. Its worth noting that just a few days prior, Dr Steinriede had gone to Yazoo, Mississippi and left their children with relatives before returning to Memphis to reunite with Anna[21].[22].

In an interview she gave while waiting for her husband to retrieve her from Chicago, she recounted her series of event for the scandal detailing how she did not elope with her African American servant but rather left her husband because of his continual abuse of her. Following this, she claims that "[Dr. Steinriede] had been guilty ot a worse crime than that and he made no secret of it to me"[15]. A later Memphis newspaper, seems to expand upon this statement when it says "She claimed that her husband had been guilty of criminal relations with different colored women in his own house and taunted her with her inability to prevent him"[23]. While it's unknown wether or not this expanded statement was made independently by the newspaper editor or if it origininated from something Anna said in a different interview, it's worth noting that Dr. Steinriede's adopted son Clyde, whose descendants claim was the son of Dr. Steinreide and his maid[24], was born just a few months after the scandal on 18 Aug 1885[25]. Still, Clyde was consistently said to have been born in Missouri so it's possible this is simply a coincidence. Also worth mentioning is the fact that Anna's grandmother wrote an amendment to her will on May 1, 1885, which contained the following line "I hereby revoke the provisions of my said will with reference to Anna Josephine Steinriede, Pauline B. Russell, and John William Steinriede..." and then goes on to will $500 to Anna Josephine Steinriede and John William Steinriede[26]. While, at first glance, this appears like Anna's grandmother severely disinherited her, her earlier will (dated in 1884) contained provisions similar to those stipulated in the amendment so it's unclear of how much she was disinherited if she was at all. Still, the date of this ammendment coincides with the dates of the scandal to such a degree that it seems unlikely that it's just a coincidence.

Sometime Following the scandal and prior to July 24, 1885, her and her family moved back to Yazoo, Mississippi[27]. Advertizements for her husbands medical practice appear in the Yazoo herald until around March 12, 1886[28]. Sometime in after that, in 1886, she moved with her family to New Orleans Louisiana[29].

New Orleans and Separation

On either May May 5th[30] or May 7th[31](with the former being the date derived from a newspaper released on May 7th, and the latter being the date given on offical cort documents), 1886, Anna takes her children and attempts to run away from her husband, intending to go live with her sister in Mississippi[31][30]. However, Dr. Steinriede learns of her intentions and confronts her at the train station attempting to take the children away from her [31][30]. Things aparently got so violent and heated during this controntation that the ticket clerk and other bystanders had to protect Anna from her husband's rage until the police arrived and arrested Dr. Steinriede[31][30][32]. The next day, one Judge Davey Placed Dr. Steinriede under a $250 bond to "keep the peace" (perhaps a Peace Bond)[33]. After paying this bond, Dr. Steinreide was released and Anna (according to the newspaper) left for Yazoo, Mississippi with an unknown lady friend[30].

On May 11, 1886, Anna filed a suit for separation and divorce. In her petition to the court she claimed the following[31]:

  • That on August 13, 1885, Dr. Steinriede had driven her from their home and cruely beat, ill treated, and abused her, and that 8 days before she had given birth to a child which "she was compelled to carry away dead from the petitioner's house" (the meaning of this later statement is uncertian).
  • That on January 8th, 1885, Dr. Steinriede, in an intoxicated state, had driven her and her children outdoors where they remained during a exceedingly cold night and then, shortly after, when remonstraighting with Dr. Steinriede, he "publicly defamed her and called her vile names" in front of her neighbors and children and that onthe 7th day of May, 1886, "he used language too vile and unclean to be inserted into [the] petition".
  • That on March 11, 1886, Dr. Steinriede drove her and her children outdoors and they had to seek lodging for the night.
  • That on April 1, 1886, Dr. Steinriede again became drunk and drove her and her children outdoors where they were compelled to remain until 1 o'clock in the morning.
  • That on May 7th, she had resolved to leave her husband and go and live with her sister in Yazoo, Mississippi and that Dr. Steinriede had follwed her to the to the train depot in a "state of beastly intoxication or or rage" and attempted to beat her with a large stick, but was prevented from doing so by bystanders.
  • That she had no money with which to support herself or her children, but that her husband was weathly "owning many acres of land in Honey Island, Holmes County, and Yazoo County Mississippi, and certian notes accompianied by a morgage and vendors lein for the price of a plantation commonly called Plainville Place" in Yazoo County for $18,000.

The petition further requests that certian items belonging to her in her own right, including a piano, sideboard, clothes, and bedding, be secured for her. The petition for separation concludes by requesting that she be granted $150 dollars a month and exclusive control over her children during the pendency of the lawsuit which the court later granted. In a subsequent court filing, Dr. Steinriede denied all of the above allegations against him. One denial of note is that while he denied that, on August 13, 1885, he drove Anna from his home and that she removed from the house a dead child, he did say that Anna did give birth to a child around that time, but that the child was born on August 17th, died shortly thereafter, and was burried the same day. In addition, Dr. Steinriede, in a denial to Anna's claim that she had always been loyal to her husband, counterclaimed by telling about Anna's 1885 elopement. Following these initial petitions, the following court motions are included in the court documents for this case[31]:

  • On May 21, 1886, a motion is granted changing Anna's official residence be changed to that of her sister in Yazoo, Mississippi.
  • On June 17, 1886, a motion is granted changing Anna's offical residence to 340, St. Charles Street.
  • On July 19th 1886, a motion is granted perscribing that Dr. Steinriede be allowed to see his children every Saturday at 10 am at his home on 507 Canal Street.
  • On September 15, 1886, a motion is granted chaging Anna's offical residence to 154 Julia Street.

The exact results of this divorce suit are unknown. According to the court docket, the case was given an indefinite continuance on December 21, 1886 and no judgement is listed. The exact meaning of this is unknown. Further investigation reveals that both law firms mentioned on the docket disolved in the later part of 1886 at the same time the final entries in the court docket were made [34][35] so that could explain the continuances. Also worth mentioning is that this case was split up across two trials: one seemingly for Dr. Steinriede's behavior (17831) at the train station and another for the divorce case itself (17834). The relationship between these two cases is unknown. The docket at one point mentions that Case 17831 is to be transfered from Division E to Division D. Presumably this is why 17834 was created. However, later in the docket, motions which appear in the court records for 17834 appear in the docket for 17831 and indeed case 17831 seems to have the latest records attached to it. It's possible then that whatever detailed records exist for the divorse (subpoena's, judgements, etc.) mistakenly got filed in case 17831 and that's why the court records for 17834 only contain the initial petitions and court motions. Unfortunately, the court records for 17831 have yet to be found online and so no further explanation for the exact results of the case is known. In any event, on January 4th, 1887, Dr. Steinriede posts a newspaper notice that Anna had separated from him and that he was not responsible for any debts she may aquire [36].

Nebraska Newspapers

From February 2 through March 12, 1889, Anna appears in several newspaper articles in Omaha, Nebraska[14][37][38][39][40]. In a nutshell, the newspapers tell about how Anna Steinriede had her husband arrested in Des. Moines, Iwoa on Thanksgiving (November 22), 1888 as he had "criminally assaulted his own 11 year old daughter", how the charges against Dr. Steinriede were ultimately dropped, and how Anna had taken her daughter and fled to Omaha Nebraska where she had since been working as a housekeeper, and how a few days prior to the publishing of the newspaper articles, Dr. Steinriede had come to the city and abducted his daughter and returned to Des Moines. In addition, on Februrary 1st, an additional newspaper article was published which seems to describe these same events, except the names of the persons involved are different with Dr. Steinriede being replaced with a wealthy professor named Prof. Sudbury at the Des Moines medical institute[41]. It could be that this newspaper is describing a separate event from those involving Anna, however, the two stories were published very close together (on consecutive days) and share many details both with each other and with the life of Dr. Steinriede (See Research Notes Below) that it seems very likely that the two stories are reffering to the same event and that, for some reason or another, Dr. Steinriede's name was changed in the initial newspaper.

According to the first Omaha newspapers which mention Anna by name, Anna tells of an instance where her husband had treated her so cruelly that he had to "flee from the county to escape the vengeance of the neighbors"[14]. Despite this, Anna followed her husband to Des Moines, Iowa where they reunite[14] (based on this statement, it seems likely that the place he had to flee from was New Orleans given that that's where he lived prior to Des Moines). However, Anna continues to be mistreated untill Thanksgiving (November 22), 1888 when Dr. Steinriede, on a drunken spree, "criminally assaulted his own 11 year old daughter"[14]. The February 1st newspaper claims that Dr. Steinriede, or Prof Sudbury in this case, had had "criminal intamacy" with his daughter[41] and indeed another newspaper articles describe describe Dr. Steinriede as "lecherous"[37] and still others as having been accused of "ruining" his daugher[38]. Anna had her husband arrested and taken to court over the matter, but the charges get dropped (one newspaper specifically mentions that one Judge Burke dropped the case[38]) and, either in response to her husband threatening her[14] or as a result of him leaving her[41], she takes her daughter and flees to Omaha, Nebraska[14][41][38].

While in Nebraska, Anna worked as a housekeeper for one James H. Wheeler. She may also have lived with one Frank Barbue, aparently a notable musician in the area[41]. An overtly negative newspaper article claims that she was impersonating one Fannie Freeborn from Des Moines during this time[38]. Around February 1st, 1889 (potentially even as early as January 30 if Anna's story is confidently said to be connected to that of Prof. Sudbury[41]), Anna returned to where she was living (perhaps the residence of Frank Barbue[41]) to find that her daughter had been taken away by Dr. J. J. Steinriede[14][37][41]. Before she can apply for police help, is arrested on the charge that she stole some diamond earrings from the household of James H. Wheeler[14][37][38][39]. On February 1, Wheeler drops the charges and Anna was relased either a day[14] or two to three days after she was arrested[39]. Anna would file suit against him on February 19, 1889 claiming that he had maliciously had her arrested[39]. A month later, on March 12, 1889, her suit against James H. Wheeler is dismissed and Anna signs an affidavit which states that she was imposed by her lawyer to bring the suit against Mr. Wheeler and that she wishes to drop the case[40]. In one intervierw, she mentions that she is waiting for her uncles from Lexington Kentucky (most likely Peter Simmons) and Guatamala, Central America to arrive before going to Des Moines Iowa as she fears facing Dr. Steinriede without him [37]. In the last newspaper article on her in Omaha (which has been found) from March 21, 1889, she described as having to morgage out two months pay in order to to pay her attourney, one Mr. Hitt, for $10 in fees[42]. She had apparently been working as a domestic for the Garbage Inspector L. A. Goldsmith for $5 a month[42][40].

Later Life with Dr. Steinriede

It's unknown what exactly happened to her in the year that followed. She aparently stayed in Omaha, Nebraska for some time following the aforementioned newspaper articles as she's listed in the 1890 city directory there as "Miss Josie Steinreade"[43]. However on October 24, 1890 she apparently remarries Dr. Steinriede in Gara, Gentry, Missouri[44][45]. She may even have reuinited with her husband earlier given that Dr. Steinriede "and his wife" are mentioned in mentioned in one newspaper as having taken over the management of the Siloam Springs Hotel and Sanitarium in Gentry, Missouri in June of 1890[46]. Following this, numerous advertizements appear in newspapers for the hotel with some including her name along with the suffix "A. M. M. D."[47]. It's unknown what her role was in the hotel or what "A. M. M. D.", but it's possible she assisted in the management of the hotel while her husband ran a medical practice in St. Joseph[48]. On July 7, 1893, a notice appears in the Albany ledger by Dr. Steinriede stating that, as his wife and daughter had separated from him, he would not be responsible for any debts they may contract[49]. According to another newspaper article, around a month or so prior to and until September 14, 1893, Anna visited the Chicago Worlds Fair with her daughter Marie[50]. A Year later, a few days following September 21, 1894, Anna moved with her family back to "their old home in the south" (it's unknown to which old home this is reffering to)[51]. A month later, another newspaper article is published in Albany claiming that Anna had to stop on the road with her son Clyde who they had aparently adopted sometime while living in Missouri[52]

It seems that from Siloam Springs, she and her family moved back to Yazoo County as her husband is seen buying a plantation in January of 1896[53] and she's mentioned as being of Yazoo City, Mississippi in an 1896 newspaper[54]. In 1896, her, her sister Pauline, and a man named John H. P. Westbrook put in a petition with the Louisiana Probate court claiming that they were the rightful heirs of one Fanny Hinckley Mills (aka, Fanny Sweet)[54]. See an excellent post about Fanny Sweet's life here[55]. According to their petition, Anna and Pauline's Mother was Anna Eliza Westbook who was an aunt to Fanny Sweet[56]. This claim is categorically false and Anna probably would have known this given that on her own death certificate descendants list her mother's correct last name as being Ross[5]. The petition was most likely dismissed and records of Anna's party's testamony dropped from the record as no mention of her claim to Fanny's estate has been found beyond her initial petition in Fanny's court records [57][58].

Sometime around the turn of the century, Anna and her family may have moved back to New Orleans or at least speant some amount of time there as her son, John William Steinriede, was married in New Orleans in 1901and in 1902 she appears to have posted advertizements for "Funished Rooms" in the New Orleans Newspapers under the name "A. J. Steinreide"[59]. Even still, in the 1900 census, she's listed as living in Yazoo with her family so their presence in New Orleans at this time is poorly understood[1]. Sometime around 1904 following the great Yazoo fire in May, Anna Steinriede opens a hotel in Yazoo City where she again is listed as the primary proprietress[60]. Advertisements appear for this hotel until March 1905 [61]. In May of 1905, she leaves Yazoo with her sons and moves to Memphis, Tennessee[62]. It is unknown why she moves to Memphis, but it is of note that, also in 1905, her husband, moves from Yazoo City to Benton where he would die in September of 1907[63].

Last Years and Death

On July 31, a newspaper article appears in the Memphis Comercial Appeal (annd is later republished in the Yazoo herald) which describes how Anna Steinriede is in financial distress in Memphis, Tennessee so much so that she is at risk of being evicted from her apartment. [3][64]. The newspaper article goes on to give many biographical details about her life including that she was the grand-niece of Jefferson Davis (her mother being Davis's niece) and grand-niece of LeRoy Pope Walker (her grandmother, unknown which one, being Walker's Sister) [3]. The story also decribes how Anna's son had gotten sick a few moths prior and that she had spent that time sending him to several sanitariums to get him healed at great expense (this event was recorded in a different newspaper in June of 1908 and it was her son Cylde who had gotten trichinosis[65]). The newspaper article concludes by setting up a fund for sending relief to Anna[3]. It's worth noting that a 1908 city directory for Memphis, Tennessee mentions a Mrs. J. "Steiniriede" at the same address mentioned for Anna in the aforementioned newspaper[66]. On August 1, an update is published on the story which details how a kind hearted buisness man offered to house her for the following month and how she had already recieved $4.25 through the aforementioned newspaper fund[67]. The next day, another newspaper article is published which details how her landlord prevented her from selling her furnature for money due to a $65 debt held over missed rent. This newspaper article details that the total amount of money raised for Anna was $15.25[68]. In the last known newspaper article on this story published on August 4, $17.50 was aparently raised and given to Anna through the newspaper fund[69].

On May 13 1910, Anna appears in another Yazoo newspaper article as Josie Granger where she says she is in financial distress, but this time in New Orleans, Louisiana.[4]. She describes how she has been unable to contact her son J. W. Steinriede and how not long after her husband died, her Son-in-Law foreclosed upon her husband's Benton estate and sold it to Ben Rusche leaving her penniless. She also describes how a year prior she had married a Jasper Louis Granger, an employee of the Illinois Central Rail Road, and how he took all her money ($700 in all) and disappeared. The article concludes by indicating that she will soon have to go to the poor houses. This same story was published in a New Orleans Newspaper on May 8th [70].

On August 27, 1912, Anna married M. H. Sheridan in Memphis, Tennessee[71][72][73]. It's thought that the 'M' in "M. H." stands for Maruice as the 1911 to 1913 Memphis City Directories show a Maruice H. Sheridan working for the Illinois Central Rail Road[74][75][76]. It further seems likely that this Maurice can be connected with the Morris of this census record as he is also said to be working for the Rail Road[77][78].

On September 6, 1912, Anna and her two children, John and Marie, are described in a newspaper to have put in a claim in on the estate of Caroline Cloth, a weathly widow living in Memphis, Tennessee who had recently passed away[79]. In the newspaper, Anna makes a statement wherein she describes that Mrs. Cloth was a cousin one removed of her first husband, John J. Steinriede, and an old family friend. She describes how her husband would often go visit Mrs. Cloth and how Anna herself had spent days and weeks with Mrs. Cloth who had invited her to come to Memphis following Dr. Steinriede's death[79]. She also states that Mrs. Cloth had once given her some mining shares to put along side her husbands insurance policy in a memphis safety deposit box but that later, after writing to the bank, she was told her papers had been lost[79]. (Research Notes on this article are below).

Around March 18th, 1913 Josephine Sued her husband Maurice for divorce[80]. In December of that year, her Maurice Sheridan dies at the age of 80[81]. In the 1914 memphis directory, Josephine Sheridan is listed as boarding at 321 south Main Street[82]. It is unknown what happened in the year that followed, but on March 19th, 1916, Anna passed away in Memphis, Tennessee from Ovarian Cancer at the age of 57[5][83]. Her death certificate, certified by her son J. W. Steinriede, lists her as Josie King indicating that at some point between 1913 and her death, she most likely remarried again[5]. The Death Certificate also mentions that she had lived in the state for the past 3 years and had resided at her place of death (1276 North Second Street) for the past two moths with her last residence being on Marble Street[5]. In support of both of these facts, a 1916 Memphis, Tennessee City Directory, lists a Josie King at the same address given on Anna's death certificate and mentions that she is the widow of a "Robt" (seemingly short for Robert)[84]. Interestingly, directly above that entery is an entry for a Josephine King at 13 Marble Street and who's listed as being the Widow of a "Sheridan"[84]. It seems likely that this is a clerical error and that Anna moved from 13 Marble Street to her 1276 North Second Street adress while the directory was being made and so got entered in the directory twice. In any event, Anna was buried in the Glenwood Cemetery in Yazoo City, Yazoo County, Mississippi [85]Her gravestone reads "Josephine, Wife of J. J. Steinriede"[86]. Her daughter, Marie Powell (abt.1878-1968), came from Boston, Massachusetts to Yazoo, Mississippi to attend her funeral[87].

Research Notes

Birth Date

Anna's exact birth year is somewhat hazy. Her birth year can be inferred to be 1859 given her 1870[8] and 1880[16] census entries, the tradition that she was 15 at the time of her marriage to Dr. Steinriede[3], and given that her death certificate lists her as being 57 in march of 1916[5]. The only source which has been found which outright claims a birth year is her 1900 census entry which claims she was born in February of 1859[1]. Even still, her earliest census entry in the 1860 census lists her as being born in 1858[2] and her gravestone lists her as being born in 1853[86]. The former is harder to explain than the latter which could be explained away by anything from a simple misreading of an '8' or a '9' for a '3' on the part of a tombstone carver or an intentional act to make her appear closer in age to her husband. This latter theory of her gravestone's dates being intentionally miscarved is somewhat supported by the fact that her death date is miscarved as being 1911 thus neatly subtracting 6 years from both her year of birth and death and maintaining her age at death as 57/58. With all the evidence available, a birth year of 1859 seems most likely, but finding a primary source for her birthdate would be ideal.

Professor Sudbury versus Dr. J. J. Steinriede

As mentioned above, the Feburary 1st, 1889 newspaper published in Omaha Nebraska regarding one Professor Sudbury[41] tells an almost identical story to the one in the newspaper the next day about Anna[14]. Details shared between the Sudbury newspaper and later ones mentioning Anna Steinriede directly include:

  • The claim that Dr. Steinriede/Sudbury had been arrested and then aquited by the court
  • The age of the daughter having been abused (11 years old[14][38]),
  • The description of Dr. Steinriede/Sudbury as elderly (he would have been 57 at the time)
  • The place where Anna/Sudbury's wife had been working (Florence[37]),
  • The fact that Dr. Steinriede/Sudbury were working as a professor in Des Moines (Dr. Steinriede was working as a lecturer at Drake University in Des Moines University at the time[88]).

In addition, in both the 1888 and 1889 city directory for Des Moines, where Pofessor Sudbury aparently lived, no entries for a professor Sudbury exist[89][90]. In addition, the newspapers mentions that Anna/Mrs. Sudbury worked for a muscianFrank Barbue on 15th Street. While Frank Barbeau did live in Omaha around this time either working as a "helper"[91] or a "machinist"[92], he did not live on 15th Street. James H. Wheeler, who Anna was said to have worked for and later arrested by[39], did live on 15th street in 1888[93] (though he moved to 28th street for the 1889 directory[94]). All these details could simply be coincidence, but their overlap makes a strong case for these two articles reffering to the same event. If it is the case that these two stories are referring to the same to events, it is unknown why the name of Dr. Steinriede was changed in the February 1st, newspaper article. Even still, the colection of newspapers in Omaha vary wildly in terms of tone (some being sympathetic to Anna and others calling her a liar and a Blackmailer) and they disagree on several minor details so the difference in name isn't impossible to explain.

Caroline Cloth Newspaper Article

The details included in Anna's statement regarding her claim to the estate of Caroline Cloth are factually all over the place. Examples of this include, listing Anna as living on 158 Marble Avenue when Anna most likely lived on 13 Marble Street (in fact, 158 marble avenue/street doesn't exist in the 1912 and 1913 Memphis Census directories)[95], listing anna as being 16 when she was married when she was actually 15, writing that the great Yazoo fire occured in 1897 when it in fact occured in 1904, implying her son Clyde's Trichina contraction as occuring before her husbands death when it infact occured a year after the fact, and claiming that Dr. Steinreide had died in 1906 when in fact he died in 1907[79]. These descrepencies can be easily explained away as the result of misremembering things or as a result of newspaper editors misrecording or poorly editing the interview, but the sheer number of errors in this one statement is interesting nonetheless.

"Having Voluntarily Separated Herself..."

On three separate occasions, Dr. Steinriede posted several advertizements in public newspapers which contain some variation of the following Phrase:

"My wife having left me, I will not be responsible for any debts she may contract".

The threee times the phrase appears are as follows:

  • At the onset of the elopement scandal on April 14, 1885, in a Memphis Newspaper[19]
  • On January 4, 1886, in a New Orleans Newspaper following Anna's suit for separation and divorce[36]
  • On July 7, 1893 in a Albany, Missouri Newspaper this time adding in that his daughter had separated from him in addition to his wife[49].

It's unknown at the present time if this format of separation notice was standard at the time, or if this was something Dr. Steinriede fourmulated himself. In any event, they're noted here simply for their consistency.
