A paper glued to the reverse side of this birth certificate bears not only the inscribed information provided by Henry Young on the birth of Annah Miller, but also indicates that, according to family tradition, Henry Young was a friend of the subject's family. Annah Miller was bilingual in English and German, the latter of which she taught in the local school prior to her marriage to Lawrence M. Hyman also of Loalshock Township, Lycoming County. She died 11 January 1908.

Henry Young, a schoolmaster, unordained minister and farmer, worked in several counties in southeastern Pennsylvania including Centre, Columbia, Dauphin, Lancaster, Lebanon, Lycoming, Mifflin, Northumberland, Snyder and Union Counties. Young is thought to have arrived in Pennsylvania in 1817, and he is known to have worked in a variety of styles resulting in his works being attributed to several of anonymous artists.
