According to public records, Margaret had lived a sad life. When she was just one year old her baby brother died the day after he was born. When she was 7 years old, her one-year-old sister died.
Margaret married her husband, Edward, in 1906 when she was 18 and he was 19.
Edward, a conductor on the city railroad, was left to raise their 3-year-old son after Margaret's death.
Lindenson's profession is listed only as "abortion provider" so it is likely that she was a lay abortionist. She was held by the Coroner on May 24, and indicted by a Grand Jury on July 19, but as far as I can tell the case never went to trial.
