Annie arrived in America alone in 1879 as a teenager. Her voyage over from Ireland was arranged by an unknown aunt already in Worcester. Her daughter Alice later repeated this information to grandchildren.
She deliberately lost her Irish brogue as quickly as possible and learned proper English grammar and pronunciation to the extent that people often questioned if she was college-educated, which was an uncommon occurrence for women then. She pronounced her last name "Kaney" and was the mother of eight children.
