Annie Oakley, one of America's best-known sport shooters and entertainers of the late 1800s, was born Phoebe Ann Mosey, or Mozee, north of Versailles in Darke County in 1860. She achieved local fame for her shooting ability as a hunter while still in her teens. By 1885 she was a star performer in Buffalo Bill's Wild West. With her husband and manager Frank Butler, she refined a shooting act and image that appealed to late 19th century notions of a romanticized but vanishing West. Throughout her 30-year performing career, she provided honest entertainment in a deception-prone industry while demonstrating widening opportunities for women. She retained her Ohio ties throughout her life and is interred at Brock Cemetery, eleven miles north of Greenville.
