For some reason I decided to google the name "Johnstone Bennett" to see what came up - lots of info on her. Here is the 1906 obituary. Another article in 1896 discussed her desire to give up the vaudeville act and join a convent.

Johnstone Bennett
Interesting info, Scooter. It makes one wonder if she was shunned and abandoned because of an alternative lifestyle. At least we know Miss Bennett wasn't scary looking in real life.
