About Isabella Annis
Isabelle (Belle) Annis, the youngest child of Harvey and Ann Annis, had traveled to Vicksburg in order for Ann to nurse Harvey, and together they prepared to travel home to Oshkosh on the vastly overloaded steamer, "Sultana". The "Sultana was packed full of former prisoners of war from the infamous Confederate camps at Andersonville, Georgia and Cahaba, Alabama. A poorly repaired patch on one of the boilers gave way with a resultant explosion and fire that destroyed the ship and many of its passengers. Harvey, Anne, and Belle escaped the explosion and fire, and found themselves in the roiling, freezing Mississippi River. Harvey and Belle were drowned.
