Although the tombstone says "Anne" that is the only place I have seen that version of her name. To family, she was known as Anna or Annie, according to family records and my grandmother (who was Anna's great-granddaughter). 2. The stone and our family records agree that she died on the 18th, but the newspaper says it was the 17th.
