Anna died 14 May 1930, and is buried at Evergreen Cemetery, New Haven, next to her husband who died 22 Jan 1928. Her parents are also in the same cemetery.
Anna had two brothers, and one of these is clearly who is referenced in the description "my father's sister":
- Charles Henry Wilson (died 1884)
- Clarence Porter Wilson (b. 1868 - d. __)
Anna's father Charles Wilson died in 1906. His Obituary contains a great deal of valuable genealogical data.

Just found this. Anna was my great grandmother’s Aunt. I have a steamer trunk that belonged to Charles and Anna, and their marriage certificate is still inside. How could I get this to family members?
ReplyDeleteIf I am able to find some family, or descendants, who would like this photo, I will also make sure they are aware of your post here about the Marriage Certificate. Or vice-versa, since you are connected to this family, you may be able to find someone quicker than I can. If so, please send them a link to this blog post. (ALSO - I wonder if your great-grandmother was the one who wrote "my father's sister" on the reverse of this photo?)
