I looked everywhere I could think for a marriage, without success. Not knowing her maiden name, or former married name if such be the case, we're a little hamstrung.

I wonder if you all across the pond and down under can get into our Libary of Congress digitized newspapers. I found it a much better way of accessing the SF Chronicle and other American newspapers. Her name is all over the San Francisco "women's pages" in her capacities in various offices of the New Woman's Club.

I also found newspaper coverage of the sudden death of a young woman at a dinner who was traveling alone. Mrs. D. K. Farr was one of those involved in mobilizing her women's club to attend a service for her, and I'm not sure but what she traveled to England to straighten out the dead woman's affairs. Does this tie in with her return trip on 28 November 1896 from Southampton to NYC?
EDIT: I originally said this was an event in Australia. I was wrong. It's in 1896 in San Francisco.

I had a lot more but it must be on another computer. I will try to look tomorrow. Right now not feeling very good, which is why I dropped out of sight. Sorry!
