I have gone in circles trying to figure out exactly how William Henry and Mary Ann (Raven) Goodhue's youngest child's name was spelled because on various records it ranges from "Annie" to "Aimee" to "Ammie" to "Amiee" and back again. She predeceased her husband, so I thought the best source I could find would be her gravestone, but unfortunately, she doesn't have one! According to cemetery records, she's buried in the same lot as her parents in Oak Hill Cemetery in Auburn, Maine, but there is just one monument there for her parents. The most recent and most clearly written consensus I can draw from looking at the obituaries for her and her husband is that she spelled it "Aimee."
Aimee's earliest record is the 1880 census, where she (looking like Ammie or Annie) appeared with her parents and two older siblings on lines 12–16 in the image below:
Her "official" birth record states that she was born in 1881, but that can't be true since she had appeared on the 1880 census. A note on the record accounts for the inaccuracy, as the information was given by a neighbor in 1940, some 60 years after the birth.
By 1900, both of Aimee's parents and her brother, Frederick, had died and only her sister, Ida, remained. Aimee was living in an Auburn apartment with Ida and her husband, Herbert Royal. Note that this record also has her birth year wrong, stating that it is 1880. See lines 13–15 in the image below:
On 27 November 1901 in Auburn, Aimee married Lewiston, Maine native Edward Franklin Fitzgerald, who was working at the Continental Mill on Oxford Street. Here's their marriage record:
Here's a newspaper mention of the wedding:

Aimee's first and, as far as I can tell, only pregnancy ended in tragedy. Carlton Edward Fitzgerald was stillborn on 14 December 1912. The cause of death was listed as "difficult labor."
In 1920, Aimee and Edward were living at 27 Orchard Street in Auburn. They're on lines 98 and 99 in the image below:
The Fitzgeralds were still living at 27 Orchard Street in 1930, as evidenced by lines 26 and 27 in the image below:
The couple appears halfway down the right-hand column on this page from the 1935 City Directory:
