The Oregon cremains reports her birth year was 1887, but other documents indicate it is 1881. The list also says an alternative name was Marie Brill.
Marie was born in France as were her parents. She immigrated to the US in 1890 when she was about 9 years old and was a naturalized citizen between 1910 and 1920.
Marie and Louis N. Abner were married about 1908. It was the first marriage for both of them. It appears they never had children. He was said to be born in New York of Scottish immigrants.

At some point after 1930 Marie was admitted to the Oregon State Hospital, a residential facility in Salem, Oregon for the treatment of people with mental illness. She died there on 1/7/1938 of a cerebral hemorrhage at the age of 56.
On 9/5/1933, four years before Marie's death, Abner married Mary J. Hill. On the application for a marriage license he indicated he was "widowed." His new wife reported she was divorced and had been married twice before. They each said they were living in Spokane, Washington where Louis was a mechanic. They were married in Goldendale, Washington just over the Columbia River from The Dalles, Oregon. About 100 miles from Portland, but 250 miles from Spokane.
