From a niece, Teresa Wittekind's recollection in 1970, Fanny's mother, Eva, mentioned that Fanny was so small at birth that she fit into a shoe box, which was kept near the kitchen stove to keep warm. Fanny's life span stretched from being a 17 year old teenager at the end of the Civil War, to holding a great nephew as baby who was born in 1942.
