==========
Emily's parents died when she was quite young and her uncle, Absolem Smith, not knowing what to do with her as it was during the Civil War, placed her in a Catholic boarding school, the Wheeling Female Academy in Wheeling, West Virginia. Emily lived at the school from Jan 1, 1864, until Jun 29, 1868.

She became the first Catholic in the family, devoted to God. When old enough, she asked her brothers' permission to become a nun; they pulled her out. She was soon married to a philanderer and not long after, had her first child shortly after leaving him. She had her first marriage annulled, and 1871 she married Finley McLaren "Frank" Chamberlin and six more children followed, my grandmother Nellie being the eldest of that brood. Emily passed her strong Catholic beliefs to Nellie; she also passed on her insistence of strict obedience, family duty, and moral rectitude, and her ability to make it on her own. The women in the family withstood storms—the men blew over with a sneeze.
