Annie Marasic Liddell was born in Yadel, Austria on October 22, 1867. She immigrated to the United States with her family in October 1874, settling in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, the same year. In 1878, the family moved to a homestead in Anson, Wisconsin. She married Robert Liddell, a farmer, logger, steel plant worker, and storekeeper, on June 23, 1885. Annie Liddell bore at least eight children and worked as a camp cook and storekeeper. From the late 1880s through the mid 1890s, the family moved frequently, settling temporarily in several small towns of northwestern Wisconsin. In 1894, the family returned to Anson and Annie ran the Anson Store with her husband. In later years, Annie Liddell wrote for the Chippewa Herald. She died in 1925 at age 57 in Anson.
