When all else fails . . . I googled her and found 3 brief mentions in
Stanton et al.'s History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 1 (electronic copy on
Google books)--one of those mentions extends to a page or so. She's referred
to as "Rev. Amanda M. Way" and as an agent of the Underground Railroad.
Another google book came up in the same search that discusses Way in the
context of Indiana history. Perhaps these sources will help.
