She did not die until 1922 and before her passing she told many of the stories in this Petty history. She had many experiences during the Civil War. One of them was of going from the South into Kentucky with her husband hidden under a wooden tub in their wagon. She drove through Confederate lines all day and they searched the wagon twice but never found him. She always said that she wasn't afraid of anything, not even death. It is said that she never had a headache in her life nor ever took a dose of medicine. At the age of 91 years, she went to bed and slept her last hours away, conscious during all of her waking hours. She is buried in Willow Creek Cemetery near Sublime, Lavaca County, Texas
1922 Obituary, Hallettsville, TX paper Pioneer Lady Dies After attaining the ripe old age of 91 years and 17 days, Mrs. Ann Catherine Pogue died at the home of her son, Mr. Walter Williams, 3 miles south of Sublime, Saturday morning at 10 o'clock, after a short illness.
