• Notes

  HHFO: D0208100301 1963: 342 DW record number: 26334 Anna Mary was named for her paternal grandmother who had died five years before in Newfork, Wyoming. Her birth was difficult and her mother Neely suspected that her neck had been broken during delivery because she could not hold her hed upright until she was nearly 18 months old. As she grew older it became apparent that she could not hear. As she approached school age she received treatments from a chiropracter which seemed to produce some benefit. She attended special classes at Mrs. Maude Blair's private school and in 1918 she and her younger sister Sara began first grade together at Independence School. Both Sara and Mary suffered from the persecutions of some of their classmates, who, aroused by the anti-German sentiments of World War I, accused them of being "German" because of the Danish ancestry of their father. When she was 13 the family moved to a new home and Mary was assigned the task of keeping the house clean. She continued her schooling while assisting the family with the many labors of milling and baking. She contracted tuberculosis and after struggling against the disease for some time she died at the age of 30. For more details see THE HONEST MILLER OF SIMPSON COUNTY, by A. B. Broderson.
