Mrs Emmons has 10 children, 5 boys and 5 girls. Those now living are Mrs Redmond, R and C Van Middlesworth, all of Geneseo, Mrs Shoup of Michigan, and Mrs Thomas Green of Nunda. Mrs Emmons early in life joined the Baptist church and was an attendant of that society as her health permitted. She set up to have her picture taken a few days ago, and talked of early events in her life".
