Unknown Newspaper Clipping September 15, 1967
Mrs. Ola Anno, who is 100 years old today (Friday) has received a letter from 
President L. B. Johnson. The congratulatory note held the Presidential Seal.
Also in the mail this week were letters from the children of her cousin, George 
Alexander of Hutchinson, Kansas. Mr. Alexander had asked each of his children 
to write Mrs. Anno about their families. Each letter was thoroughly enjoyed by 
the alert Mrs. Anno.
Other cards and gifts have been presented to this Centenarian.
Mrs. Anno, a daughter of John and Medora Jackson Crutchfield was born Sept. 15, 
1867 on the original family farm. She attended the Female Orphans Home, later 
known as Missouri Christian College in Camden Point and her daily chore was 
sweeping the Chapel at the school.
Mrs. Anno was quite musical and played for both the Pleasant Ridge church and 
Swamp College. She also taught a Sunday School class.
Following the death of her husband, the family moved to Weston. She shares a 
home with one of her three daughters, Mrs. Bernard Meeker and Mr. Meeker. Miss 
Dora Anno lives in Weston and Mrs. Ethel Kaylor's home is in Bakersfield, 
Calif. Another daughter, Josephine, died a number of years ago.
