Anna Lillian Lindauer (1873-1956)

Anna Lillian Lindauer (1872-1956) aka Annie Lindauer; Housewife (b. October 20, 1872, Manhattan, New York County, New York, USA - d. before June 19, 1956, United Hospital, Rye, Westchester County, New York, USA)

Birth
Anna was the daughter of Charles Frederick Lindauer (1836-1921) and Anna Augusta Kershaw (1841-1931) aka Anna Kershow. She was born on "October 20, 1881" according to her obituary. However there is an "Anna Lillian Lindauer" born on "October 20, 1872" in Manhattan to Charles and Anna. The nine year difference is difficult to reconcile, but obituaries have been known to be incorrect. The month and day of birth match what is in her obituary.

Freudenberg I (1858-1921) aka Max Freudenberg; William Lindauer (1866-c1870); Adeline Lindauer I (1862-before1921) aka Ada Lindauer, who married Charles L. Schoenfeld; Arthur Oscar Lindauer (1867-1944) who was a trapeze performer that never married; Harry Chauncey Lindauer I (1877-1923) who married Hannah Shea (1884-?) and later died of syphilis; and LeBaron Hart Lindauer (1879-1945) who married Catherine Harney (1878-1966).

Marriage
Around 1897 Anna married Ira Lowe (1870-bef1910).

Children
Together they had two children: Joseph Lowe (1903-1979) aka Joe Lowe, who married Mary Buchman (1903-1972) and had no children; and Blanche Lowe (1898-1998) who married John Wahl II (1895-1942) a tree surgeon, and after his death she married a Testerman and moved to San Diego, where she died.
