By 1903 Anna and her parents and siblings had moved to Grand Island living at 1401 N. 1st. By this time Anna's mother had died (1891) and her father Ira had married Sarah Nicholas and their home must have been quite active as now, the 1890's version of the "Brady Bunch" consisted of Sarah's three children and Ira's three children.
The Griffin's moved again in 1904 - this time on W. 1st Street and the City Directory showed Anna working at the Nebraska Mercantile Company - she was 17.
On Sep 17, 1907 Annabelle Griffin married Wilhelm Jacob Adolph Fleischer - an employee of the Union Pacific Railroad. Anna and William were married in Omaha Nebraska. Shortly after their marriage they moved to San Bernadino California, where their son Kenneth was born.
William's father, John was experiencing difficult health issues and William and Anna moved back to Nebraska to help his mother Anna. In 1911 their second child - Leonard was born. They remained in Grand Island until they moved to Columbus Nebraska. Briefly they lived in Schenectady NY where William was working on a heavy locomotive for the Union Pacific.
Pershing Road must have been a busy place for Grandma and Grandpa Fleischer - they lived right between their two sons and all their grandchildren.
Grandma Belle died in 1964 and is buried in Grand Island Nebraska at the Grand Island City Cemetery.
