Wife of Daniel O'Leary and mother of John J. O'Leary, Anna Jospehine O'Leary, Mary Margaret O'Leary, and Hester A. O'Leary Harvey. On the 1970 census in Chicago, Daniel O'Leary is 24 and his wife, Ann, is 27. They were married in May of that year and Maggie Boland, age 23 was living with them. This would have most likely been Ann's sister, possibly her sister, Mary Boland. All three were born in Ireland.

According to Ann's obituary in the Chicago Tribune, her husband, Daniel, was a Pedestrian and somewhere out West at the time of her death. Pedestrians were walkers or athletes who were at times paid to walk certain distances in a specified period of times, sometimes in competition with others. Dan O'Leary was well-known for his walking ability. An article in the Chicago Tribune dated July 12, 1914 stated that he had walked 100,287 miles since July 4, 1874. He was born in County Cork, Ireland.
