Googling indiana "madge" (with the quotes) gives a lot of results about one person.
The context of it very much reminds me of researching the Zuiderzee.
KKK Scandal with a prominent man (He was the 'Grand Dragon' apparently). he ended up kidnapping and raping her and she poisoned herself. As she was dying she gave a court testimony about the event. The whole thing ended up basically destroying the KKK.

Decided to go back to the very basics of solving things and google words together. Maybe we are too used to the 'tricks' and difficulty that we have overlooked something obvious, and i dont Madge's identity mentioned anywhere else in this thread. ~
