Annie was in a play here are some newspaper articles.
This must of been a very special memory for her because it would of been one the biggest moments she had with her mother.
This is all the genealogy information I found, which saddens me, I want to know what happened to Annie and her siblings.
William died 22 July 1896 in California. I have no idea if he died in prison of not, I didn't find a death index or a Find A Grave Memorial.
