More Information on Quakers - Meet Annie Oakley

via TYWKIWDBI where I learned more about Quakers to share with That Mr. G Guy.


FAMILY BACKGROUND: Quaker parents Jacob and Susan were originally from Pennsylvania. After a tavern fire ended their livelihood as innkeepers, they moved to a rented farm in Ohio. Father, who had fought in the War of 1812, died in 1866 from pneumonia and overexposure in freezing weather.
Annie Oakley's father owned a tavern, fought in a war and taught her to shoot. Did you know a Quaker could do all that?
