Description
Portrait of Anna Mae Williams Jackson as a young woman.
Anna Mae grew up in Strasburg, the second oldest of at least seven siblings. Her parents were Rev. Donald Frederick (1897-1973) and Phyllis Cornelia (Banks) (1904-1949) Williams. Her father was a Baptist minister in Strasburg.
In 1930, the family lived on 4th Street and Anna Mae’s father worked at a lime plant. Ten years later, the family lived on C Street where her father worked at a stone quarry.
Anna Mae Williams married Frederick Jackson (1925-1999) in 1948. His parents were William (1895-1987) and Edna Mae (Willis) (1904-1942) Jackson. Tragically, Frederick’s mother was killed by a hit-and-run driver in the early hours of January 21st, 1942.
By 1950, the census found Anna Mae and Frederick Jackson still living in Strasburg. Anna Mae looked after her 3-year old daughter, Constance M. Jackson, while her husband worked as a gas station attendant.
