Emeline was the daughter of William R. Hatfield and Mary Ann Rose. I found seven children for them—Emeline (4 Mar 1845), Rebecca J. (c.1848), George W. (c.1850), Mary C. (31 Nov 1851), Daniel (1854), Isabelle (c.1856), and Viola (c.1858).

Emeline first appeared with her parents on the 1850 Census, living in Franklin Township, Kosciusko Co., Indiana. William Hatfield, aged 27, was farming for a living. Mary, aged 20, was tending to their home and the needs of their three young children—Emeline, aged 4, Rebecca, aged 2, and George, aged 5 months. Daughter Mary joined the family a year later. Sadly, she died on 15 Apr 1853, aged 1 year, 4 months, and 15 days. Perhaps the birth of son Daniel in 1854 brought a measure of joy back to the family. Sadly, he too died very young in 1859, aged 4 or 5.

The 1860 Census placed the family in Seward, Kosciusko County. William, aged 38, was busy farming. Mary, aged 32, would have had her hands full at home taking care of their five children—Emeline, aged 14, Rebecca, aged 11, George, aged 9, Isabelle, aged 4, and Viola, aged 2. Also living with the family was 23-year-old Henry Hatfield, (William's younger brother?), who was helping with the farm.

The year after that census, the Civil War broke out in the spring, lasting for four, long years. Right in the middle of that conflict, Emeline married John L. Anderson on 5 Apr 1862 in Kosciusko County. They had twelve children together. I found the names for ten—Bruce (c.1863), Orpha (1865), Della (3 Mar 1867), Harvey William (2 Jun 1869), Edward (c.1872), Mary (c.1874), Ida Pearl (1879), Lucinda (27 Apr 1880), Huldah Edith (26 Feb 1882), and Noah (13 Apr 1886).

I found the family on the 1870 Census, living in Seward Township, Kosciusko Co., Indiana, with a Silver Lake Post Office. John Anderson, aged 28, was farming for a living. Emeline, aged 24, already had four little ones running around—Bruce, aged 7, Orpha, aged 4, Della, aged 3, and William (aka Harvey), aged 1.

The year 1875 featured two weddings. Emeline's sister Isabelle married Thomas Linn on 2 May 1875, and two months later Emeline's sister Viola married James A. Reed on 13 Jul 11875, both marriages taking place in Kosciusko County.

In 1880, the family was zoned into Harrison Township in Kosciusco County. John, aged 37, was busy with the family farm. Emeline, aged 33, would have had her hands full at home tending to their eight children—Bruce, aged 17, Orpha, aged 14, Della, aged 13, Harvey, aged 11, Edward, aged 8, Mary, aged 6, Ida, aged 1, and Lucinda, aged 2 months. Huldah would join the family two years later on 26 Feb 1882.

Perhaps of special interest in 1882 was the feud between the Hatfield family of West Virginia and the McCoy family of Kentucky that resulted in over a hundred family members either wounded or dead. I don't know if Huldah's mother Emeline was related to those Hatfields, but if she was, she managed to escape unscathed.

On 2 Jun 1895, Emeline lost her father William.

By the 1900 Census, the family was living in German Township in Marshall Co., Indiana. John Anderson, aged 59, was still actively farming. Emeline, aged 54, reported that she had had twelve children, but that only eight had survived to that census. I can confirm that the following children were still living: Orpha, Della, Harvey, Ida, Lucinda, Huldah and Noah. Sadly, son Bruce died of an accidental self-inflicted gunshot wound on 28 Jul 1896. I do not know the fates of Edward or Mary. Still at home with their parents were Huldah, aged 18, Noah, aged 14, and Lucinda, aged 20. Lucinda, aged 20, appeared with the surname Disher and was noted as a widow. She reported that she had had only one child. There with her was daughter Hope, aged 2, born in September of 1897.

Five years after that census, John and Emeline's daughter Huldah married John Anderson on 13 Aug 1905 in Marshall County. They welcomed daughter Gladys E. on 5 Feb 1907 and second child, likely born circa 1909. I found Huldah and her little family on the 1910 Census, living in German Township, Marshall Co., Indiana with parents John, aged 68, retired by then, and Emeline, aged 65. John Anderson, aged 24, was correctly identified as a son-in-law, and he was earning a living as a house carpenter. Huldah, aged 27, reported that she had had two children, but that only one had survived to that census. There with them was Gladys, aged 3. Also living with the family was Emeline's 80-year-old widowed mother Mary A. Hatfield. Mary died two years later on 19 Mar 1912.

Four years later, Emeline made another trip to the cemetery to bury husband John, who died on 11 Apr 1916.

I couldn't find Emeline in 1920, but by the 1930 Census, she was living with daughter Lucinda in Harrison Township, Kosciusko County. Head of household was Lucinda's husband Allan H. Long, aged 64 and a farmer. Lucinda, aged 49, was keeping house. There with their parents were sons Cecil, aged 18, Paul E., aged 14, and Joseph D., aged 9.

That year's census was taken in Kosciusko County on April 8th. Emeline, aged 84, died a month later on 5 May 1930.
