Emma was the fourth of six children born to William and Eliza (Meier) Tatkenhorst. She had three older sisters: Minnie, Lena, and Martha. A few years after her death her parents followed her mother's parents to Lincoln County, Kansas with their surviving daughters and son John; Ben was born after they arrived in Lincoln County, Kansas.
