"Mary Rogers was a beautiful woman who grew up as the only child of her widowed mother. At the age of twenty, Mary lived in the boarding house that was run by her mother, although it was her amazing beauty that made her the talk of the neighborhood.[2] Her father died in a steamboat explosion when she was 17 years old" - If her father died when Mary was 17, how could she have grown up the only child of a WIDOWED mother? We don't usually consider the main years of growing up to be after the age of 17, do we? Or have I missed some-thing? Kdammers ( talk) 07:12, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
The lede says she was a murder victim, but the body of the article mentions that there is the possibility that she died as the result of an unsuccessful abortion. That would make the lede misleading. Kdammers ( talk) 17:19, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
