LETTER TO HER BROTHER
Just a month before her death, Anne wrote a letter to her brother, John, sent from San Haven, ND, to John at the Wicks Hotel in Mott, ND. She wrote in November 1933:
"Saturday 4 p.m. - Dear Johnny: I seem to have a spark of energy so I'm going to fan it by writing to you. My, how proud I was to have your lovely letter & snapshot. The girls think you're quite a handsome brother. So do I! .. Johnny, I've a favor I'd like to ask of you. Remember the card I sent to you? Well I wonder if you could print 'A Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year' on seven of those for me. I got the nurses some hankies, and a card like that put in the envelope with the hanky would save some wrapping and since I can't get about, it would make it easy for me. The nurses always rave about that printing so I know they'd like it. Could you do it? Or is it too much? Could you get some cards like that or should I send you some. They are 15cents a box at the dime store. So you listen to the minstrels? Well so do I. That's one thing we do together. Too bad we can't listen to the same radio instead of the same program. Gee, I get so blue and downhearted sometimes but what's a body to do? Just grit your teeth and bear it I guess. Maybe someday I'll have a chance to live a natural life. I had an X-ray this week. Dr. J. said today that there isn't much improvement but it isn't any worse. I'll just have to do better or I'll lay here forever. I wish I could gain but it doesn't seem possible. I try everything and can't gain..
"Sunday a.m. - The supper trays came before I could finish so I'll finish now. After supper I read my Tribune & a cute letter I got from Buddy. According to him this will be quite a day at home, for, Uncle Adam's family and you are to be home. .. Do you listen to Baron Munchhausen? I think he's good. .. Auf wiedersehen. Love & Kisses. Your sis, Anne."
[Note: "Buddy" was younger brother George. "Uncle Adam" must have been Adam Gohring, husband of the deceased Eva Schweigert.]
According to "Webb Brothers Funeral Homes Records" Annie died at Dunseith Sanitarium. This was a tuberculosis sanitarium located near Dunseith, ND, a town very near the Canadian border. No death certificate was found for her in ND.

From the Bismarck High Herald, 22 Dec 1933, p. 4:
After a four year period of illness, Miss Anne Weisenberger succumbed at her home, Friday, December 15. Miss Weisenberger was a former student of Bismarck high and a member of the senior class of '30. She was unable to be graduated, however, because of illness. She spent a six months period at Denver, Colorado, in an effort to be cured of her disease, and also stayed a short time, before her death, at the Tuberculosis Sanitorium of San Haven, North Dakota. Although she was unable to take part in many activities of the high school, Anne made a studious effort to stay in school as much as possible in an endeavor to be graduated.
