Anna had a twin sister named Hilda. Other siblings were Matilda, a.k.a. Tilly (born July 1890), May (born July 1894), Kathryn (born December 1898), and Henry, Jr. (born ca. 1913). The 1910 Census data indicates there was a seventh child that did not live.
Her parents were Henry and Mary Guenther Volz, and both were German immigrants. Henry and Mary immigrated to the United States ca. 1884. Henry's first name really may have been Heinrich, as on 19 April 1892, a Heinrich Volz who lived in the 13th Ward (Troy Hill), Allegheny City, filed his Petition for Naturalization in the District Court of the United States for the Western District of Pennsylvania.
The Volz family owned a home at #3 Ley Street, Troy Hill, Allegheny City in the 1900 Census, which later became 1932 Ley Street, Troy Hill, North Side, Pittsburgh. PA. Henry worked as a laborer in a tannery. In the 1910 Census, Henry worked as a laborer in an electric supply company and was still at that job in the 1930 Census. In 1910, Matilda worked as an order girl in a soap factory and May was a roller in a cigar factory. Anna was the oldest child still living at home in the 1920 Census and worked as a buncher in a factory, while Kathryn was a saleslady in a department store. By the 1930 Census, Henry, Jr. was the only child living at home.
Anna married William George Berger on 14 February 1923; Valentine's Day fell on a Wednesday that year. Although their application was made in Allegheny County, William and Anna were married in Sharpsville, Mercer County, PA, by Minister J. A. Cousins. Neither William nor Anna had been married previously.
Anna died at home (1926 Lowrie Street, Troy Hill). Immediate cause of death was cerebral thrombosis due to arteriosclerotic heart disease and polycythemia. Polycythemia vera is when the bone marrow produces too many red blood cells which leads to blood being thicker than normal (viscous) and it does not flow normally. Anna also suffered from emphysema. She was 75-years old. Anna's daughter Joan Rouda was the informant on the death certificate. Anna's death notice was in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette of 05 May 1972, Page 26. Note that Anna's sisters Matilda and Hilda were not mentioned.
