Notes

Anna's younger sister was Emily A. Shook, perhaps Emily's middle name was Anne or Anna. Emily would have been about 35 in the 1910 census, whereas, Anna Lusicia would have been about 40. I have seen some entries on Ancestry.com that have the granddaughters (Elsie and Amy) as the children of Emily A. Shook. Based on birth dates, that seems reasonable (assuming Emily A. has a middle name of Anne or Anna). That is an assumption, though. In contrast, if you overlook the birth dates and concentrate on the birthplace (Illinois), the linkage steers towards Anna Lusicia, since she is the only child of Mike and Martha (according to census records) born in Illinois.
