Born in Pennsylvania, Mary Emmaline moved with her family to Hardin County, Kentucky when she was about four years old. Her mother died when she was about nine years old. Sometime after her mother died, she moved to Rush County, Indiana to live with relatives. In 1870, she was living with the large family of her father's first cousin, Phoebe Jane (Ball) Gary and husband Rev. Thomas B. Gary, a Methodist minister and farmer. By that time, her grandmother Ball and a number of other Pennsylvania relatives had moved to Indiana. Her older brother Washington Perry Ball moved to Rush County to live with another cousin at about the same time and they may have gone together. She was married to Julian Armfield Phillips, at the home of her cousin Cyrus Ball in Rush County, Indiana, Aug. 23, 1874. Their first three children, Lulah, Hartsell and Everett were born in Rush County. They moved later to Wilson County, Kansas where the next three children, Gracie, Ovid and Merrill were born. Ovid died in infancy. In the 1890s, they moved to Hyde Park, Utah near friends from Kansas named Ashcraft and eventually bought a farm north of Preston, Idaho in an area known as Poverty Flats. Their youngest child, a son named Ertie, was born there. Julian died in 1902 and Emma followed her two oldest sons, Hartsell and Everett to Rupert, Idaho in 1905 when they homesteaded land opened up by the Minidoka dam project. She died in Rupert in 1941.
