Named after his wife Ann and born out of the overstepping railroad into his farmland. The farm community of Anness never flourished to more than 100 residents and lost it's hold to the automobile and growing town of Wichita. The post office of Anness now sits as part of a tourist attraction in Wichita's Cowtown. Authors Jackson, Alex Date Mar 01, 2011 Tags Anness Santa Fe Railroad Sedgwick County W.H.
