Anna was the daughter of John Appleman and Lydia Bailey, who married on 26 Feb 1860 in Marshall Co., Indiana. John and Lydia had four children together—William Edwin (b.1863), Anna Margaret (b.1865), Fredrick S. (b.1867), and Irvin Walter (b.1874).

The newlyweds appeared together on the 1860 Census, living on a farm in West Township, the closest post office in Sligo. John, aged 23, was busy with the farm. Lydia, aged 20, was keeping house.

A year after that census, the Civil War broke out on 12 Apr 1861. John eventually joined the war effort, serving with Co. K of the 151st Indiana Volunteer Infantry. He enlisted on 20 Feb 1865 in Indianapolis. The regiment mustered in on 9 Mar 1865, and left for Nashville, Tennessee on 13 Mar, where it reported to General Lovell Rousseau. On 14 Mar, the regiment was ordered to Tullahoma, where it saw duty until 14 Jun when it was ordered to Nashville. The regiment remained on garrison duty until early September. John mustered out on 28 Oct 1865 and returned home to his family.

The family was still living in Plymouth’s West Township when the 1870 Census came around. John, aged 37, was busy farming. Lydia, aged 28, was home with their three children—William, aged 7, Annie, aged 5, and Fredrick, aged 2. Also living with the family was 21-year-old John McFarland, a farm hand. Son Irvin wouldn’t join the family until 1874.

Five years after that census, John filed for an invalid’s pension on 17 Dec 1875. To qualify, he had to have met the following requirements: 1) an honorable discharge, 2) a minimum service of ninety days, and 3) a permanent physical disability not due to vicious habits. The compensation ranged from $6 to $12, proportioned to the degree of inability, and was not determined by rank held.

Tragedy struck on 28 Apr 1877 when Anna's father John died after being struck by lightning. He and another man had gotten caught out in a field, and had taken shelter from a storm under some trees.

Lydia appeared without him on the 1880 Census, widowed, aged 36, still living on the family’s farm. There with her were Annie, aged 14, and sons Fredrick, aged 13, and Irvin, aged 5. To help make ends meet, Lydia had taken in a boarder, 35-year-old Charles Stansbury, a blacksmith.

On 2 Sep 1890, Lydia applied for a widow’s pension. To qualify, she had to meet the following requirements: 1) that the soldier served at least 90 days in the War of the Rebellion and was honorably discharged, 2) provide proof of the soldier's death (death cause need not have been due to Army service), 3) that the widow is without other means of support than her daily labor, and 4) that the widow was married to soldier prior to June 27, 1890.

A year later, Anna married first-husband William Franklin Long on 3 Nov 1891 in Marshall County. It was a second marriage for William. He had previously married Susannah Peters in 1880 in Indiana. William brought at least three children to the marriage—Eliza E. (b.circa 1884), Charles W. (b.circa 1888), and Edith S. (b.circa 1891).

I found the family on the 1900 Census, living in Towner Co., North Dakota. William, aged 38, was farming. Anna, aged 34, reported that she had not had any children. There with their father and step-mother were Eliza, aged 16, Charles, aged 12, and Edith, aged 9.

They were still living in Towner Co., North Dakota when the 1910 Census came around. Frank (aka William), aged 47, was busy farming. Annie, aged 44, again reported that she had not had any children. Living with the family was 29-year-old Martin Sudre.

Seven years after that census, Anna lost husband William on 16 May 1917, aged 55. Anna had him laid to rest in Cando, North Dakota, and she left, returning to Indiana.

Two years later, Anna married Ira Zumbaugh on 27 Nov 1919 in Marshall Co., Indiana. Ira was the son of John N. Zumbaugh and Lucinda Kepler. He had previously married Orena Sarah Bailey on 26 Aug 1888 in Marshall Co., Indiana, and they had had two children together—son Lester Nelson., born on 17 Dec 1889, and daughter Delpha Alice, born on 26 Jun 1993.

I found the Anna and Ira on the 1920 Census, living in Plymouth's Ward 3. Ira, his surname transcribed as Gumbaugh, aged 54, was building houses. Annie, aged 54, was keeping house at their home located at 221 Sixth Street in Plymouth.

When the 1930 census taker showed up, Ira and Anna were living at 317 Pennsylvania Ave. in Plymouth. Ira, aged 64, had not yet retired from carpentry work. Anna, aged 64, was keeping the home fires burning.

Seven years later, both Ira and Anna departed this world, both aged about 72. Ira's name diplomatically appears with both of his wives, the three of them sharing a plot here in Oak Hill.
