Anna was born on the Corder family farm (NE corner of Callaway County, MO). Her grandfather started the farm around 1851. She lived on this farm until around January 1900 when the family lost the farm and moved to Mexico, MO. In Mexico she worked for Crown Laundry (owned by William Warner Williams, no relation). On 6 Apr 1910 she married Thomas Williams in the family home. The priest from St. Brendan's officiated. Shortly after the birth of their only child (William Warner on 16 Jun 1913) they moved to Quincy, IL. They lived at 613 Chestnut in Quincy and later moved to 1112 N. 8th.
