Anna Jane had two children born in Missouri that died in infancy. Anne J.(abt 1868) and John D.(abt 1870). She had one other Soulard child, Charles Edward. Very little is known of him.
Anna Jane was born on the 19 of April 1849 in Illinois, the oldest child of Joseph and Susan (Ettleman) Chamberlain.
She married John Davidson Soulard on the 15 of September 1867 in Memphis, Missouri. He was not a good provider and wasn't liked very well by those that knew him. Anna Jane left him after her fifth child was born.
A Seventh Day Adventist family, by the name of White/ Skaggs offered to take Cora Alice and Jane let her go. Mr. and Mrs. White/Skaggs, their family, with Cora Alice, left for Chicago, Illinois. Cora Alice wasn't heard from until about 1904, after she was married and had several children. Jane was married to her third husband. Her brother, Edward was sent to Illinois to bring her to Oregon.
Edward was said to have gone to war in France. Family history states he was never heard from again. However, that is questionable.
Jane married Thomas Curtis on the 22 of May 1882, who had two sons by a pervious marriage. While living in Bible Grove, Missouri, Tom got very sick and their son George, who was only eight years old, broke both of his legs.
Jane sat between them to care for each of their needs. Thomas died on the 12 of December 1898. When his legs were strong enough to stand his weight, the family made a walker for George to learn to walk again.
Son Earl Loren Curtis never married. He was known as very levelheaded and for his love of children. He helped to care for Fred Chamberlain when he had spotted fever. He was killed in an explosion while blasting wood with dynamite.
In about 1900, Anna Jane's sister, Eva and her husband Jim Fleetwood, went to Oregon, taking George went with them. George settled in Hereford, where he raised cattle and racehorses. (Compiled from Wilda's notes 1962 &1971)
After Tom's death, Jane and the family came to Hereford, Oregon. Jane kept house for Ace Fleetwood, who ran the store in Hereford.
Sometime after 1900, Jane married William Cantrel, and moved to Lime, Oregon. They had a small place in Lime and Jane kept her wood floors scrubbed white with lye. William Cantrel died in 1923 in LaGrange, Oregon.
Jane spent time with different children, until they had to put her in the hospital to get constant care. She died several years later on the 9th of September 1934, in Pendleton, Oregon.
