He also engaged in carpentry and house building while he edited newspapers. His early years seemed to show an active interest in working with the public.

... and write. She learned to write by copying words in the sand. Like a good neighbor, Anna taught the children younger than her the things she had learned. In this way, she was teacher even as a young child. Anna was introduced to the Adventist Church in a very unconventional way. Usually the case with new converts is that they have friends that bring them to church, or maybe even complete strangers that introduce them to their religion. Neither of these conventional ways was the case for Anna. It seems that doing things the unconventional way was the case for most of Anna's life. She was introduced to the Adventist message through a column in the newspaper. "The Cousins' Exchange" ...
