Grandpa’s siblings 9

Peter P and Margaretha’s sixth daughter and eleventh child was Anna, born 9 October 1913, when Margaretha was forty-three.




Anna remained single longer than was usual in the first half of the twentieth century, during which time she likely worked as a registered nurse (according to the Grandma database). Eventually, at the age of thirty-seven, she married John Davis Warde, on 7 April 1951.

Anna passed away at the age of eighty-three on 27 July 1997 (her husband predeceased her by five years). None of the usual sources indicate where Anna is buried. Her husband John is buried in an underground vault in the Holy Cross Catholic Cemetery in Colma, California (see here). Perhaps Anna is buried there as well.
