Annie's mother died when she was just 10 years old, leaving her and her older sister Josephine to keep house for their father and two younger brothers.
Eventually Annie and Josephine would come to live with John and Lucy Simpson, dear friends of Kate. The Simpsons had 4 girls of their own about Annie and Jo's age.
John Simpson meet a fellow named George W. Rose at their mutual place of work and decided he would bring the young man home for supper and introduce him to their eligible daughters and wards. That idea proved to be quite successful.
George and Annie were married on 19 January 1916 by the pastor of North Frankford Baptist Church on Frankford Avenue.
