She came to the United States in 1857 with her parents and her sisters, Franziska and Theresa. In 1860, they lived in Rubicon, Dodge County, Wisconsin. By 1863, they lived on a farm in Greenville, Outagamie County, Wisconsin.
She married in 1869 and lived on a farm in Ellington until 1873, when she and her husband purchased land in New London to build a hotel. At that time, a railroad was being built through New London. Anna was an excellent cook and made meals for
the boarders at their hotel. She packed a lunch for the railroad men and gave them a hot meal when they came in at night for 50 cents a day. She was a member of the Christian Mothers Society and Most Precious Blood Catholic Church. After
her husband's death in 1910, she lived with her daughter, Gertrude. They lived in Hartford, Wisconsin from 1913 to 1918. Her granddaughter, Catherine Deutsch Doyle Jaeger, remembers the delicious fried green tomatoes with lemon slices that Ann
a used to make. Around 1818, she and Gertrude moved to Menomonie, Wisconsin, where they lived for the remainder of their lives. Anna was very strict and old fashioned. She was very upset when Gertrude began shaving her legs before dressing for
her job at the bank. Anna had her tonsils removed at 72 years of age. She was operated on for appendicitis October 12, 1936, at 84 years of age. She was mentally alert until her death of an abdominal tumor thought to be stomach cancer at age
90. She had been ill for about 2 months.
