Birth
Anna's birth date is reported (by persons unknown) in the 1900 Census as March 1873. Her death certificate lists her birth date as 30 October 1872, based on information she provided prior to her death. Either birth date would have made her seven years of age in 1880, the earliest census in which she appears. Only the March 1873 birth date, however, would have made her 21 in the 1895 Census.
Move to Denver
Anna moved to Denver because she had tuberculosis and nearly died. She was told that if she moved to Denver and never left, she would live.[11]

Here is the story of Aunt Anna's illness and move to Denver as I remember Mother and Dad telling it. Aunt Anna taught school, and she had to attend summer school. Her roommate had tuberculosis, and Anna contracted it. She was in the hospital (somewhere in Iowa, I presume). The girls who clerked in a town store were friends of hers, and Anna was so ill that they assumed she would not live. In fact, they were discussing buying flowers for her funeral. A Christian missionary or visitor came through the hospital and stopped in Anna's room to pray with her. (Her mother, Eliza Liscum Jones read her Bible every day.) As I recall the story, the missionary was Seventh Day Adventist. She told Anna that if she went to Denver, Colorado, and never left, she would live. Anna got up out of her sick bed, packed her suitcase, and went to Denver, Colorado. She lived a long, happy life. She had no children. Her daily life was devoted to taking the "day-old" flowers from her husband's shop and visiting the sick in the hospital. All of her worldly goods were given to the church. The address of Anna Jones--in Denver--in 1907. This was a census of Denver-- not a U.S. Census. She was listed with two other girls--rooming house, or such. I have: Anna S. Jones, 1515 Stout, Denver, Colorado
