Name Anna Mary Oestmann [1, 2] Birth 24 Feb 1855 Chicago, Cook County, Illinois, USA 
[1, 3, 4] Gender Female Also Known As Annie [5, 6] Census 1860 Chicago, Cook County, Illinois, USA [7] Census 1870 Chicago, Cook County, Illinois, USA [4] Census 1880 Chicago, Cook County, Illinois, USA [8] Census 1900 Chicago, Cook County, Illinois, USA [9] Census 1910 Chicago, Cook County, Illinois, USA [3] - 2500 Monticello Avenue
Census 1920 Denver, Colorado, USA [10] - 61 West Alameda
Residence Jun 1921 Denver, Colorado, USA [11] - 61 West Alameda
Cause of Death Cerebral hemorrhage [11] Occupation Housewife [11, 12] Research Notes Dates are confusing on death certificate. Date of death is given as 7 June 1921, but in the physicians statement section, he certifies that he attended her from 7 June to 9 June 1921 and that he last saw her alive on 9 June. Burial date is given as 15 June 1921, so the death date given by Elaine Schoelzel (14 June 1921) is almost certainly incorrect. Age at death is given as 63 years, 3 months, and 23 days, which would put her birth on 12 Feb 1855 (given 7 June 1921 death).
According to 1900 census, Anna had given birth to 8 children, of which 5 were surviving. A son named Robert, born in May 1880 is listed, which doesn’t match any other source.
