========================================
Anna, age 26, perished in the S.S. Eastland Disaster on the Chicago River.
========================================
Private services were held over the body of Anna Anderson, 27 years old, at 2346 South Fiftieth avenue before it was conveyed to Forest Home.
--Chicago Tribune (Chicago, IL) July 30, 1915
========================================
A lake passenger steamer, the S. S. Eastland had been chartered by Chicago's Western Electric Company to transport the company's employees (and their families), to their annual picnic in Michigan City, Indiana.
At 7:28 a.m., still moored to her Chicago River dock and with 2,572 people on board, the S. S. Eastland began to list. The steamship managed to briefly right herself before slowly rolling on her side.
844 people died that day in what would turn out to be Chicago's worst disaster ever.
