Anna was born 31 December 1709 in Ottenbach to Hans Hug 1670 - 1742 and Elisabetha Berli 1667 - 1713. She is Kent Gardiner's 6th greatgrandmother. She was the fourth of five children. Anna means "favor" or "grace" or "beautiful." Saint Anne
is traditionally the name of the mother of the Virgin Mary, which accounts for
its wide use and popularity among Christians. Hug is pronounced Hooog. Long Ō.
The surname Hug comes from the Old German word "hug,"
which means "intelligence." With a name like Hug you might think she would have lots of comfort in her life. Far from it.
Anna then had five children:
1. Othmar born 20 Dec 1733 lived to be 13 years
old and passed away from dysentery
2. Heinrich born 17 August 1738 died in November
of the same year
3. Barbara born 23 August 1739 died three days
later
4. Barbara born 13 November 1740 married in
1769 and divorced Ludwig Grob 5 years later, lived to be about 60
5. Melchior born 17 September 1744 died about 4 months later, or a month after his father Ulrich
After the death of her mother and 4 children Anna's father died in 1742 and her husband Hans Ulrich Sidler died in 1744. He was only 32 years The cause of his death is from hitziges Fieber = fever. Three years later she
married Hans Jakob Sidler and they had three children:
1. Elisabetha 10 Dec 1747, marries and has 15
children, 2 husbands and many descendants and lives to be almost 84 or twice
the average age for the time. One outstanding women!
2. Katharina born 11 March 1753 died at 14 years from hydrop or
3. Jakob born 1749 died about a year later.
3. Jakob born 1749 died about a year later.
So far she lost her mother, 6 of her eight children and her first husband......
About a year and a half later Anna Hug died 18 March 1773 from hydrope. Anna lived 63 years 2 months 18 days.
Death
In total Anna lost two of her siblings from infant deaths, her mother when she was 4, four of her first five children from her first husband, then her father died when she was 33 and two of her three children from her second husband pass on. Then her second husband died. He died on 2 October 1771 from hydrope. He is 59. She is 61. 1 years 5 months 16 days later Anna passed away. There must have been a grand reunion in heaven that day.

Talk about dealing with death!
Anna's death
Anna Hug’s cause of death was Hyrope or
Hydrops which is a condition where too much fluid is collected in the
inner ear. From other entries in the Ottenbach Parish record it appears to be a common cause of
death. The Ottenbach Pastor who made this entry, and conducted the
services was Rudolf Hamberger. Rudolf died 3 years later.
Endolymphatic hydrops may be either primary or
secondary. Primary idiopathic endolymphatic hydrops (known as Ménière’s
disease) occurs for no known reason. Secondary endolymphatic hydrops appears to
occur in response to an event or underlying condition. For example, it can
follow head trauma or ear surgery, and it can occur with other inner ear
disorders, allergies, or systemic disorders (such as diabetes or autoimmune
disorders). Symptoms typical of hydrops include pressure or fullness in the
ears (aural fullness), tinnitus (ringing or other noise in the ears), hearing
loss, dizziness, and imbalance. (VEDA website)
Be careful: we have two grooms Hug on that page (Jogel and Hans, likely brothers), both getting married to an Elisbeth Berli - shouldn't get mixed up.
