In 1905 she was living in Black Diamond, Antioch, California (coal mining area from about 1860-1900 when the coal petered out). This is known as her brothers Finlay and David went to visit her and this is the destination given on passenger immigration records. (Black Diamond is now known as Pittsburg, modern map here http://www.mapquest.com/maps?city=Antioch&state=CA&address=2685+Pittsburg+Antioch+Hwy ) She came back home in July 1923 on the ship 'Celtic' from New York.
