Anna's daughter Janet (Ann) tells the following story from her mother:
"My mother entered Canada and she was very lonesome so my father and Uncle Joe and Aunt Madelyn would go to Canada to visit her. On one of their visits my father married my mother and that's how she came to this country. She had told me stories of how many of the young girls that came over on the boat with her wanted to come to America and they would pay people to smuggle them over the border at night. Some of the girls wanted my mother to go with them, but she was frightened and wouldn't go. She said several of the girls were caught coming over the border and they were sent back to Lithuania."
