She was the daughter of Jas. McFadden and Margaret Rouse. She married William C. McDonald on March 17, 1881 in Monroe, Iowa. He was the son of John G. McDonald and Isabella Curry.

[Note: I previously had the marriage date listed as March 17, 1881, which was probably a typo error on my part.]
Suggested edit: I recommend the marriage year in Emma's bio be changed to 1881; 1891 may be a typo. The 1885 Iowa State Census shows them enumerated as husband and wife in 1885, indicating they married earlier than 1891.
