Annie Downey was the sister of Mamie Downey, wife of her husbands brother, William Tell Wannall.  It is reported that Annie was "born in a veil", meaning she supposedly had extra-sensory powers.  It is said she once approached the wife of a nephew, Rebecca Reeves Wannall (1889-01), and asked if anyone in the family named "Bill" had been recently married.  Rebecca reported that she knew of no such marriage.  Rebecca learned about a week later that her own son, Bill (1914-01), had, in fact, secretly eloped.  Apparently Annie passed her extraordinary talents on to her grand nephew, Willard Layton Wannall (1921-03), who has published books about the supernatural.
