According to my father, Louis P. Drollinger, she was a gentle tiny blue eyed woman. Widow's pension file certificate number 612 504 gives date of her death 25 Sep 1920, her 1906 application lists her son,Adolph W., under 16, her address as 504 North Ave Allegheny City which was rented and her marriage to A.W. Drollinger on 2 July 1872. How she met A. W. Drollinger is a question perhaps never to be answered. One of those events we can only speculate on. Her husband to be was off in the regular Army until Feb 1870.
