 Anna Margaret Hann - Walter Mathew Smith

After finishing two years of Teachers College, Anna taught eight grades in a one-room country school house in Southern Ohio. When World I started, she took a Civil Services exam and worked for the War Risk Insurance in Washington D.C. where she lived with her sister Susie and two friends.

After being discharged from the Army in World War I, Walter bought a 13 acre truck farm with a house and summer kitchen outside of Oxford, Ohio. The house was heated with coal, had carbide lights, a cistern with running water in the kitchen and a wood cooking stove. Anna and Walter were married in her parent's home in March 1920. Walter worked as a truck farmer, painter, and paper hanger in and around Oxford.

Because of Anna's health, Walter built a collapsible house trailer and they moved with Marianna, age 12, Colleen, age 9, and Dale, age 5. They lived on the desert in the house trailer in Morristown, Arizona. After moving into a small stone house, the house burned to the ground, as well as most of their possessions, so they moved to Phoenix, Arizona. They lived in two separate rental houses until Walter died in 1935. Anna bought a small brick home from proceeds of the sale of the house in Ohio. She lived there until she died.
