born in Epping, Moselle, Lorraine, France in the era where Germany took over France many times.

Anna Arnet, daughter of Jean Peter Arnet and Marguerite Reisch.
Anne married William F Boyle, 1 May 1902 Ionia, Michigan. Their children are Edward W Boyle 1903-1976 and Margaret "Boyle" Slowinski abt 1909-1981.

Escape to America

Anna's father would beat her mother (Marguerite) often and with the wood that was used for the cooking stove. Marguerite tried to get away with the children to America the first time in 1890 and her husband caught her and the children at the station and would not let her take the children. Marguerite knew if she went back with him that he would probably kill her. She refused and left with out the kids. My gr grandfather took the kids back home with him, never to see their mother for quite some time. How scared they must have been. Anna 12 yrs, Josephine 10 yrs, John 8 yrs, Nicolas 6 yrs and Mary age 3 yrs. Marguerite came to America by herself in 1890 and worked for 5 yrs, saving money to bring her children to America, bef she saw them again.

In 1895, so not to be seen, Anna, Josephine, Mary, Nicolas, rode in a hay wagon, hid under hay all night long and most of the next day, till they were far enough away. My grandfather, John P Arnet was left behind in France as there was not enough money to bring him over with the other kids. He also escaped 6 months later with the help of neighbors at the age of 13.
