Annie Laurie was born January 30, 1919. She married Bill Evans and had two children:
Bill "Little Bill" Evans.
Martha Evans Krauss. Martha has two children, Trent Pierce and Linsey Krauss, and a granddaughter, Katelynn Pierce."Aunt Annie Laurie was a nurse. She always wore her hair up in a bun and had a very distinctive voice. She used to address everybody as 'Hon'" When dad was in the nursing home, Annie Laurie was always there with him, right up the end. I remember thinking she looked really sad at the time. She was the oldest of the three children and both of her brothers passed away before her. -- Keith Petrus
