Biography

Family tradition is that Elijah & Mary Emma with their children left Indiana by train for Florida in early 1883. Mary Emma was pregnant with Annie at the time. Aunt Annie was born with a birth defect (slightly crippled) which progressed with age to the point that she was quite stooped over and walked with a limp. She was, however, fiercely independent and did not like to be assisted. I have heard speculation that the stress of moving on Mary Emma might have contributed to the birth defect.
