Anna Mary Noe Born: 20 February 1834 Kingdom of Bavaria Died: 09 November 1923 Swanton, Fulton County, Ohio

Anna was the daughter of Lawrence Huffman and Anna Mary Byers. Her exact place of origin is unknown.

She married Bernard Noe in 1856.

In May 1862, Bernard, Anna, and their oldest child emigrated from the port of Bremen on the bark Ottilie, with 324 passengers. Their accommodations were "between deck" (steerage). The ship passed Fair Island on 24 May, and had westerly winds for the rest of the voyage. Between 17 and 19 June, several large icebergs were seen. The ship passed the Grand Banks on 20 June, and arrived at New York City on 4 July 1862. The voyage across the Atlantic lasted 43 days, and there was one death and two births on board. (Bernard and Anna's surname appears on the passenger list as "Nox," and their son Nicholas is not listed.)

After her husband's death in 1916, Anna moved to Swanton, Ohio to live with her widowed daughter, Mary Lawrence. Her son Peter bought the family farm from her in December 1916 for $5,500.
