Name: Emily "Emma" (Tremblay) TRUMBLE
Given Name: Emily
Surname: Trumble
Birth: 7 Dec 1846 in Detroit, Wayne Co., MI
Death: 22 May 1919 in Royal, Clay Co., IA
Burial: Riverside Cemetery
Census: 1900 Watseka, Iroquois Co., IL
Emily "Emma" Trumble was born in Hamtramck Michigan, and resided there through her marriage to Jean Picard (John Pecore) and up until the birth of her third child, a son, John Picard. They had relocated to Watseka Illinois, and husband Jean entrusted the care of his family to the Trumble Family settled in and around the area. He returned to French Quebec Canada and died there shortly there after. He most likely was quite aware of his medical and physical condition to purposefully relocate them, and to return to his own family in Canada. He never used or was identified by the surname Pecore while alive. Picard was his anglicized surname, but he probably allowed the familiar "John" to be interchangeable with the French pronunciation of "Jean". His full name at christening is that of Jean Baptiste Destroismasison dit Picard. Emily "Emma" adopted the surname Pecore over Picard for reasons only they know unless an alternate motive is discovered. Emma's surname was modified over time by the common custom of women adopting one's husband's surname after marriage. Two daughters who preceded John, Emma and Mary were to remain Pecore's until their respective marriages, and son John was laid to rest as a Pecore.
"Emma" or Grandma Grady, as recalled by a Great Grandson, my Paternal Uncle, as a ball of fire on roller skates, and that was meant as a compliment. I think of a gregarious and larger than life character. Colorful, and I would venture to say a loving and caring woman. She has the same countenance as "Mona Lisa." Reserved, dignified, a bit of mischievousness. One who took upon herself to provide a home and raised her son's only surviving child, Ina (Ninna). After consumption (tuberculosis) claimed their infant daughter, four month old Jessie May (4 Jul 1900) who preceded her Mother in death by little more than two months. Rhoda and Jessie succumb while traveling by wagon from Watseka en route to Louisville Kentucky. Perhaps to seek treatment. Ina most likely survived by placing her with with Emma, thereby reducing any exposure to the disease. They did not tell her of her sister's passing. She thought her to still be alive, a victim of spiteful kidnapping by the Morgans. That fear of horsemen swooping in, gathering her up, and riding off never to see her loved one's again haunted her her entire life. It is likely she remained with her Grandmother Emma until Ina's marriage to Henry G. Johnson.
Emma's two Daughters by John Picard, Mary and Emma. Both married, and started families of their own. Which will add more to this narrative.
Emma also bore one child, Charles, by her marriage to John Henry Evett.
This woman packed her life with experiences, and I am sure she did what had to be done as well. But I also suspect behind that "Mona Lisa" expression there was a wonderful woman of character. I am sure she would marvel and be rightfully proud of the extended family she had a hand in creating. I imagine her as strong willed woman, but one with a wonderful laugh, grand sense of humor and the first to hug and comfort you should the situation warrant it. Those who had actual contact with her reminisce speaking with warm and loving tones. They were the Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren who might of had a more "spoiled" relationship due their relation, but who spoke of her in the gentlest and warmest regards. They viewed her through the eyes of their youth and she saw them as the loves of her life, her legacy, as all Grandparents are want to do. One Grandson always stopped and paid his respects whenever he had an opportunity. As he recalled exactly where she was laid to rest, He would admonished a generation of his own children, nieces and nephews, and grandchildren to never forget where she laid, and to always "look out for Grandma Grady's Memorial" and never allow it, or her to be forgotten. I hope this somehow gives him some comfort. To know a small part of her story, now digitized, will perhaps outlast the stone that marks the location of her earthly remains. I don't think she can ever be forgotten, not for as long as there are those who continue to come after her and forever expand her family. Her legacy is spread far and wide, and we are a testament to her resilience and love. I hope she and all those who came before and those who came after, all rest in eternal peace.
