Annie was one of more than 40 victims, most of them young girls, who were killed or fatally wounded in the explosion at the Confederate States Laboratory munitions plant on Brown's Island on 13 March 1863.
She was originally buried in Range 27, Sec. 21, but in 1890 her remains were moved (along with those of many other family members) when the City of Richmond widened 4th Street and took that space.
While a family marker bearing her name and three others has been at her gravesite for many years, a new marker created by a local chapter of the Order of Confederate Rose was dedicated on 15 March 2014.
Her name also appears on a special marker remembering all of the munitions plant victims who are buried at Shockoe Hill. That marker was dedicated by the "Friends of Shockoe Hill Cemetery" on 17 March 2013. It stands in Range 13, Section 15, very near the graves of six of the girls.
