Anna could not sing, but all of her children were quite musical, several of them taught singing in school as well as lead their congregations.  After John's death, Anna made her home with their son, John Jay, near Sugar Grove, Lawrence County, Illinois.  With him, she crossed the plains in the summer of 1854. There had been talk of Texas, where some of the family had gone, but Anna voted for Oregon where her son, Alvin and her daughter, Rosetta, with their families, had gone two years previously.  This pioneer mother of seventy-four years, walked many miles on the way from Illinois to Oregon--never complaining of any hardship. She was a loving companion to her granddaughter, Irene.
