I should have made clear that even though the headline says "Fontenoy"
that her Rochebriant name and background is given in the text of the
story.

Her husband is named as Roger, Count d'Autier, Marquis de la
Rochebriant.  The first 1909 CHICAGO TRIBUNE story says that
"both her husband and her little girl are living and are in
France," even though a later story claimed her husband had
died in 1906 and doesn't mention a child by that husband.
