Anna is the daughter of Joseph Vrany and Marie Osvaldova. She married Frank Anthony Lokajicek and they are the parents of two sons, Raymond and Daniel. Anna and Frank operated a wheat farm and Frank was vice president of the Denton State bank.
Anna fell ill with psychiatric symptoms in 1921 and was hospitalized in Wisconsin. She was released in 1922 and came home though her husband wasn't sure she was well enough. He apparently didn't think she was capable of violence.
On May 10th while her husband was in the field Anna took a pistol and shot her 13 year old son, Raymond, in the temple as he sat reading. She then shot her three year old son, Daniel, twice, in his bed and went out into the field. She approached her husband, Frank, and indicated she had something to say to him and when he bent over to hear what she intended to whisper she shot him in the jaw then headed back to the house, apparently leaving him to die. Frank was briefly unconscious and when he roused he made his way to the house where he found Anna dousing it with kerosene. He overpowered her, despite his wound, and tied her in a chair then walked a half mile to town for help.
Anna was sent to the asylum in Warm Springs for treatment and there was diagnosed with bipolar illness. Reports in the papers were that she had improved somewhat since events in May and she was, apparently, allowed some liberty about the grounds. On September 15 she made her way to the train tracks that ran near the asylum grounds and she lay across them. The next passing train killed her. Her death certificate does not indicate what time she died.
Her husband recuperated from his physical wound.
