Father: Oltman Uke Lupkes (1856-1942)
Mother: Hilke Modder (1867-1892) Died from complications of child birth of her fifth child (Baby was buried with her)
Husband: Enno Hinrichs Barkhoff (1884-1933) Buried in separate cemetery
Children: Christine, Fritz, Louie, Helen, Arthur, Elsie, Bennie, Annie, Paul, George

Anne left home when she was 15 years old to be a helper for the neighbor family when they moved to South Dakota. She didn't care for her father's second wife and took the opportunity that allowed her to leave home with a position. She also worked in a restaurant in South Dakota, she was a fine pie maker.

Her two brothers married her husband's two sisters. She raised her family on a farm in Iowa and upon he death of her husband continued to run the leased farm with the help of her older sons. She eventually purchased a home in town and made money by dividing it up and renting out apartments. She was very happy with her home in town with her family and grandchildren, her flower and vegetable garden. She always had tea and cookies at 4:00PM, I grew up thinking you always had to have cookies if your had tea. Her hair was down below her waist, but she always wore it braided up. I would like to think she enjoyed her later years.
