Her death certificate shows she died a widow in Philadelphia so presumably August passed before her, and she was shipped to Homestead (Allegheney County) to rest with him.
A marriage license in Philadelphia was procured by Johanna Merkert of Roxborough and George O'Brian or O'Brien of San Francisco in 1917 - only her like-named niece of Roxborough might have had the name and considered matrimony at that time, so it is likely her. Whether the marriage happened or not is unknown at this time. Clearly if it were either lady, it did not last as neither passed with O'Brien as her last name.
