Annis Abigail Walker

1858 - 1938  (80 years)

• Name	Annis Abigail Walker  [1, 2, 3]
  	Though named as "Alice" in the 1860 census, the sound is much like "Annis." The 1870 census names an "Ann F." in the same child position. By 1880 she was missing from the household. The death index, census data, and FindAGrave, taken together, indicate the likelihood that it was "Annis Walker."
