Annie Oakley's father was Francis Butler. He was a Quaker and a farmer who struggled with financial difficulties, which led to the family's challenges during Annie's childhood. After her father's death when she was just five years old, Oakley took on the responsibility of helping to support her family, which included learning to shoot and hunt, skills that would later contribute to her fame as a sharpshooter.
