Later she taught In Towner's first brick school house. This building was used until the red brick school was built in 1905. The original building was then used for apartments and was known as the Rosencrans Flats. Anna had some students who later made Towner proud. They were Alan Soule and the Strand boys, Olaf and Anton.
