Mary Emmaline Dyer was the namesake of Mary Ann Helm(s) Dyer (paternal grandmother) and Sarah Emmaline Pearson Brodie (maternal grandmother). As a fairly young girl, Mary went to live with her Grandmother Emmaline who was a businesswoman, a very proper lady and much ahead of her time. After Emmaline sold her Millinery and General Merchandise Store in Henry, she and Mary moved to Rocky Mount, then to Roanoke where they lived in a large and pleasant Victorian house in what is now the Historic District. After graduating, Mary taught school. She married three times with no issue from any of her marriages. Her first husband, Ernest Barton from Bedford, served in World War I and died as a result of being gassed.
