Anna was committed to the State Hospital for the Insane in Norfolk Nebraska sometime in early 1906 (17 years old), reportedly after chasing her mother with a butcher knife. Anna's older brother Frank was also committed to the State Hospital in the fall of 1906. The rumor was that Frank became extremely distraught following the rejection of a young woman whom he loved. Frank committed suicide on December 24, 1906 in the State Hospital, while his younger sister Anna lived the remainder of her life in the State Hospital until her death in 1955. Here is Anna's obituary as published:
