Anna is the daughter of John and Anna (C^erny (?)) Biksacki of Gajar, Slovakia. She immigrated to the United States via New York at the age of 15 with the stated position of servant, arriving by ship on Jan 31, 1905. At the age of 16, and both living in Little Neck, NY, she married 30 yr old, Georg Chmela, a farmer. They were married in the Borough of Manhattan, a neighborhood in New York, NY on May 24, 1908. During their marriage they had 6 children - a son and 5 daughters. Her Georg died young at age 42 after only 12 years of marriage, leaving Anna to raise their 6 young children; that same month of May that Georg died, their youngest daughter Theresa 'Tess' was born. Sometime later, friends George & Anna Vissers needed her help as Anna Vissers was quite ill, so she helped care for her and their 6 sons until Anna Vissers died.
She and George Vissers and children got to know each other during his wife's illness and later decided to marry and blend their two large families. Together they had twin daughters born 10-6-1923 - Alice Anna & it is thought Agnes). However, the latter was stillborn (and it is unknown where baby twin Vissers' grave is located). Together they raised 13 children, hers, his, and theirs. They lived happily together on their dairy farm until he died. Later as the children grew up and moved away Anna sold the farm and bought a house.

Sometime later she met another widower, Bill Ebben, and they married and lived in her house until she died. Anna is buried next to her third husband, Bill Ebben, though it was her wishes to be buried next to her first husband, Georg Chmela.
