She was born in 1864 and
died in 1922 at the age of only 58, apparently of pneumonia.
Just a few months after she died, her husband Lucius Abbott Butler
died.
Her two children, Gertrude and Harold lived very long
lives. Their baby sister Doris Mae lived less than a year. We're
not sure why she died.
We don't know too much about Annie yet but we hope that
through letters and other research we will find out more. Gertrude
writes that Annie and her husband were "great lovers".
From pictures, we can see that she was very short compared to her
children and husband. Gertrude and Harold were each about 6
feet tall. Annie appears to have been closer to 5 feet. |
