På grunn av smittefare fikk Anna Marie ikke ha kontakt med de små barna sine under oppholdet på sanatoriumet.

For a period after her death Fred’s brother Hartwick and his wife joined him and the children on a new farm in Minnesota. But Mamie effectively became the mother while all three were growing up.
