Sarah "Annie" Turner was born August 26, 1827 in Sandy Springs, Ohio. Annie married William Wittenmyer in 1847. The two had a happy marriage. Annie had four children and three of the four died before she.
Annie succeeded in many accomplishments throughout her life. Many of them took place in the state of Iowa. Iowa had only recently become a state, and some things that were taken for granted in the east, such as public schools, weren't always available to all children, especially low income families. Annie started free school for less fortunate children on April 4, 1853 because she knew the importance of a good education. Annie also made a Sunday school class for the school children whose families did not attend church.
