Anna Lostetter, born December 1, 1881, in Rising Sun, IN, which is down the river from Cincinnati, OH. She was the daughter of Samuel Warren and Annette Pearson, from England and settled in farming country in IN. Anna was called "Annie" by her father, who was in the bakery and grocery store business for many years. Two children were born to Samuel and Annetta. Annie's brother, Samuel Warren II, was younger, born April 22, 1885, also in Rising Sun.
Samuel Warren II, married Elizabeth Murphy in Chicago, where they had 2 children, who became a big part of Anna's life later in California. Dorothy was born March 15, 1904 and a son, Warren, born May 16, 19__. Dorothy married and had no children. She lived in Florida, with her husband. Warren died in the VA Hospital, in Sawtelle, California, at the age of 50, on May 31, 19__, the same year as his father, Samuel Warren II, who had died on his son's birthday, May 16. Their mother, Elizabeth Murphy Lostetter died in November 1918, during the flu epidemic, when Dorothy was about 14 and Warren was about 9 years old.
Annie's grandmother Pearson moved to Bloomington, IL, after the death of her husband and later lived in a nursing home until she died.
When Annie was about 10 years old, in 1890, her family moved to Bloomington to be near the grandmother. Here Annie and Warren were raised and educated. In 1900, when Annie was 19, the family moved to Chicago, on the South side. Annie was very lonely, so she returned to Bloomington to visit a girlfriend. Here she met Everett E. Jackson, after he was discharged from the Spanish-American War and fell madly in love with him. Annie played the piano quite well and he loved to hear her play, "Roses are Red my Love." Two weeks later, she wrote to her father in Chicago and said she was going to marry this young man. Her father wrote back and said, "Annie, you don't know this young man; think before you leap." Annie told him she was going to marry him and if he wouldn't let her come home to marry him, she would marry him in Bloomington. So on September 16, 1901 (or 1902,) they were married in the family home in Chicago, by a Baptist Minister, with only a few family members present. When Annie told her Grandmother Pearson, in Bloomington, she was going to marry Everett, the grandmother cried and cried and said, "Annie, you don't know what you are doing and you aren't old enough to be married." She didn't know the marriage would last about forty years, only ending by the death of Everett.
Annie celebrated her 100th birthday on December 1, 1981 and she contributes her long life to a loving God who has watched over her all these years and has maintained her religious faith.
Anna died February 19, 1987, at the age of 105 years and is buried in Inglewood Park Cemetary, next to her husband, Everett Edward Jackson.
