Anna Elizabeth Otto was the daughter of Jonas Otto (1837–1891) and Mary Spahr (1841–1914). She was born in New Hamburg, Ontario on December 9, 1865. Records suggest that she went by “Eliza” or “Elizabeth” until her thirties, but used “Anna” later in life.

She married John O’Connor. They had one child:

  1. Ralph Ira O’Connor (Ralph Ira Warner)

Anna became the common-law wife of William James Warner in 1892. They were married in Windsor, Ontario on March 29, 1915.
