She Became One of Two Women To Receive The Kearny Cross Military Decoration After Risking Her Life As A Regiment Nurse During The Civil War

On top of this, as she was an unpaid volunteer, Annie did all of this prideful work for free.

When the war ended in 1865, Annie returned to Detroit and became one of two women to receive the Kearny Cross military decoration. She eventually remarried and began working in the United States Treasury Department. She passed away in 1913 and was buried in the honorable Arlington National Cemetery.

What a brave, fascinating, and admirable life she led!
