How to read this page

Photos and clippings count items you can view here.
Cited or transcribed records are counted separately.
Story links lead to accounts about the person; “Mentioned in another story” marks a passing reference.
Memorial links open Find a Grave.
A “family recollection” label marks something a relative remembered, not a written record.
A military-service label rates the record of that service, not the whole life.

Sex is as recorded in the family tree. Age at death is worked out from the dates shown and may be a range or an approximation. It is left out when a date is missing or is only a “before”, “after” or “between” date, when the research has found a date Unconfirmed, when the two dates conflict, or when they would mean an age over 110.

Life events

Born	30 Sep 1849, Fairfield, Somerset, Maine, USA Likely evidence: show why Why: Her obituary says she was born in Fairfield and would have turned 85 on the 30th of the month, September 1934, which gives 30 September 1849; the 1900 census gives Sept. 1849 and the 1850 census lists her at 9 months. Her own records call her Annie E., never Eliza Ann. Records: Obituary 'Mrs. Annie Ames', September 1934 (clipping on Find a Grave memorial 140178172; paper and date not shown): widow of Augustus Ames, died at her home on the East Madison road Saturday morning; 'had she lived until the 30th of this month, would have been 85'; born in Fairfield, one of six children of Watson and Hannah Woodsum Bragg (view at research) 1900 U.S. census, Skowhegan, Maine: Augustus Ames, born Oct. 1839, age 60, with wife Annie E. (born Sept. 1849) 1850 U.S. census, Skowhegan, Maine: Eliza A. Bragg, aged 9/12, in Watson Bragg's household Review: assessed 10-28-2026; evidence: Image examined. Earlier: Unconfirmed (10-05-2026, imported tree): From the imported family tree; not yet reviewed. What the labels mean (the family tree records SEP 1849, Maine, USA) Image: 1880 U.S. census, Canaan, Somerset County, Maine (roll 487, page 257b, ED 157): the page the family tree attaches to the household of Augustus Ames and his wife Annie. · Image: 1910 U.S. census, Madison, Somerset County, Maine (roll T624_546, page 14b, ED 229): the page the family tree attaches to the Russell household and Lillace (Ames) Russell.
Died	22 Sep 1934 Likely evidence: show why Why: Her obituary says she died at her home on the East Madison road on a Saturday morning in September 1934 after three weeks' illness, and was buried beside her husband at Skowhegan; her stone gives 1934. The obituary does not name the town, and the day, Saturday 22 September, comes from Find a Grave because the clipping is undated. Records: Obituary 'Mrs. Annie Ames', September 1934 (clipping on Find a Grave memorial 140178172; paper and date not shown): widow of Augustus Ames, died at her home on the East Madison road Saturday morning; 'had she lived until the 30th of this month, would have been 85'; born in Fairfield, one of six children of Watson and Hannah Woodsum Bragg (view at research) Gravestone of Augustus Ames ('1839-1928') and Annie E., his wife ('1849-1934'), Southside Cemetery, Skowhegan (Find a Grave memorials 140178173 and 140178172, photographs) (view at research) Review: assessed 11-02-2026; evidence: Image examined.
