  Notes	The Howard/Messing family tree identifies Anne as the first white child born in Martin Twp, Rock County, Minnesota. In the 1900 census she had had 2 children, both still living. She and her three children were living with her parents in Martin Twp at the time of the 1910 census. She is shown as married for the 2nd time but there is no husband with her. She had only had the three children. Her occupation is shown as dressmaker. She was Anna Anderson in September of 1903. She was Mrs. Anna Jensen at the time of her father’s death. In the 1930 census she was single and was living with her daughter Dora and her family in Hills. She was employed as a servant for a private family. From the Hills Crescent, courtesy of Katherine: August 16, 1900 G.B. Anderson left Monday morning for the Twin Cities to be absent for some time. Mrs. G. B. Anderson is at present staying with her parents Mr. & Mrs. Nels Iverson, southeast of town. April 30, 1903 Anna Anderson whose maiden name was Iverson has been granted a decree of divorce from her husband, George B. Anderson. The parties were married at Sioux Falls Nov. 8, 1893 and lived together until Aug. 2, 1900. Two children were born to them. The plaintiff alleged in her complaint that the defendant had threatened to kill her, that he had not contributed toward her support or the support of the children and that the separation had been brought about by his conduct. Personal service of the complaint and summons were had on Anderson at Albert Lea on September 26. Anderson is said to be employed at that place as a bartender. The decree was granted by Judge Brown Saturday and gives the plaintiff custody of the children and puts the costs of the case on the defendant. E.H. Canfield, Esq. represented the plaintiff and the defendant was unrepresented. September 20, 1903 A deal was closed on Monday where Iver Iverson sold the City Restaurant to his sister Mrs. Anna Anderson who took possession the same day. Mr. Iverson is undecided as to his plans for the future, but will continue to reside in Hills if he can secure a residence. Mrs. Anderson was formerly connected with the City Restaurant in partnership with her brother Ole Iverson, the business being conducted under the firm name of Anderson & Iverson, and the many patrons of this establishment will be pleased to learn that she is again in charge. Mrs. Anderson will give special attention to the baking of bread, cakes and all kinds of pastry, in which line she needs no recommend. She will also continue to handle the well known Hazelwood ice cream. Board furnished by the day or week at reasonable prices. We bespeak for the City Restaurant under its new management a liberal and growing patronage. July 3, 1913 A Large Crowd Helps Mrs. Anna Jensen Celebrate Birthday at Old Home. One of the largest gatherings that has taken place in or around Hills, for many years, occurred at the fine old country home of Mr. & Mrs. Nels Iverson last Sunday afternoon. The occasion for such a large crowd was the 41st birthday of their daughter, Mrs. Anna Jensen. It was planned to give a surprise party on Mrs. Jensen, and in order to not cause any confusion the “surprisers” met at the home of Mr. & Mrs. Ole Iverson and drove or marched in a body to the old Iverson home. It is estimated that at least 300 friends partook in this event and it seemed that nearly every available space on the big lawn was occupied. About five o’clock the crowd was treated to a number of selections by the Hills Cornet Band,… Mrs. Jensen was born on the old homestead in a sod house on June 26, 1872, one week after they had moved into their new home…. Mrs. Jensen… bears the distinction of being the first white child born in Martin Township that is living today… About seven o’clock the company dispersed feeling that they had spent a most enjoyable day. In the 1930 census, she, as Anna Jensen, is single and is living with her daughter Dora and family in Hills.
