I went back over my notes, and remembered I pieced together the relationships from obituaries of her sisters where she was listed as a survivor. On the 1880 Census, I wondered if there wasn't a mistake and a daughter listed as "Susan Andes" really was Anna S.Andes (the 'S' for Susan after her mother? and at some point she started to go by Annie?). The other sisters match up and the age seemed right. (I have a big note in my notes "where is Annie?" on this page from the 1880 Census.) I would wonder about the 1885 Kansas Census too. In our 1887 Business Directory she is listed as Miss Annie Andes at 310 Main, Newton, Ks. (Of course to add to the confusion, also listed are Miss Susie Andes and Miss Winnie Andes, all domestics at 310 Main, Newton, but no Lizzie who was not married yet). At HCHM we have the marriage licenses for Winnie, Lizzie, and Annie. Their obituaries appear in the Newton Kansan, which we have on microfilm. So, that is how I came to some of my conclusions. If you have other information, I would be happy to add it. Thank you for your comment. -Kris (my e-mail: curator@hchm.org)<br />hvcuratorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07836494879240539466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-289979229527863702.post-35904792736005450042015-05-09T12:08:54.911-07:002015-05-09T12:08:54.911-07:00Thank you for this story.

Of concern was identifying her correct parents, who are listed in many online trees as Levi Andes (1844-1910) and Susanna Stark (1846-1919). I have not found Anna living with her parents in any census. She must have been born right after the 1870 enumeration. In 1880, she is listed as the ten year old servant of the Wolf family in West Cocalico, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. There are several children on the page also working as servants! I had hoped this was a mistake.<br />In the 1885 Kansas State Census, Levi Andes is enumerated in Topeka with his wife, Susan (Stark), and four children: Lizzie, Susan, Wilton, Alice. No Anna!<br />By the time the 1900 federal census came around, Anna was married with her own children.<br />Thank you for this article.Jody Lutterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01166860142168646494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-289979229527863702.post-73649808302297113882012-08-09T08:27:59.349-07:002012-08-09T08:27:59.349-07:00Interesting story, Kris!
