A poignant thumbnail at http://www.irelandxo.com/ireland-xo/his ... e-mcnamara Husband goes off to join the Valdez goldrush in 1901 and wife Katherine begins identifying herself as a widow in 1901. Perhaps she had received news of his death. There were numerous ways of dying prematurely between Chicago and Valdez in those days (a synopsis of the dangers of the Valdez Glacier trail at http://www.cvinternet.net/~pwsbooks/vgtrail.html).
