- LKH note:
Census records confirm that Anges joined the household of David and Nancy Warner. Although all census records from 1860 onward give Anges' birthplace as Iowa, she joined the Warner household at least by age 4 in Pennsylvania which reinforces her obituary's claim that she was born in Pennsylvania.
