Gruelle became an opponent of vaccination, and the Raggedy Ann doll was used as a symbol by the anti-vaccination movement. Authorities blamed a heart defect, but her parents blamed the vaccination. From his bookshelf, he pulled a book of poems by James Whitcomb Riley, and combined the names of two poems, 'The Raggedy Man' and 'Little Orphan Annie.' Marcella died at age 13 after being vaccinated at school for smallpox without her parents' consent. Gruelle created Raggedy Ann for his daughter, Marcella, when she brought him an old hand-made rag doll and he drew a face on it. A sequel, Raggedy Andy Stories (1920) introduced the character of her brother, Raggedy Andy, dressed in sailor suit and hat. A doll was also marketed along with the book to great success. The character was created in 1915 as a doll, and was introduced to the public in the 1918 book Raggedy Ann Stories. Raggedy Ann is a rag doll with red yarn for hair. Raggedy Ann is a fictional character created by writer Johnny Gruelle (1880–1938) in a series of books he wrote and illustrated for young children.
