Emma E. Woodard, was born in Upland, Grant County, Indiana on 5th of April 1870. She was one of nine children born to Deborah Atkinson and James Henderson Woodard. They were: Charles E., William Chaney, Flora, Ida, Cora, Alma, Ladddie Stark, Minnie May and of cource Emma E. Woodard.
It is not known how she met her future husband whom she was married when she was 28 years old. His name was William Harvey Albert and he hailed from Sinking Creek, Virginia. Census records show him with his family as a child but when he moved away from his family home is unknown by me. He was 32 when he and Emma tied the knot on the 21st of December 1898 in Grant County, Indiana. (Two publications on the Albert families include this family but failed to show William. This was a simple error on the part of the authors who did not check the census records and wonder what happened to him. The information they obtained were from marriage records of his siblings in Giles County and surrounding areas. Needless to say he must have left at an early age and the marriage in Indiana was not recorded by these two authors.)
Emma and William Albert had a son for their first child who sadly enough died in infancy. This was to be their only son. They later had a daughter named Gladys Virginia, born in 1901, and twin daughters who were born in 1904 named Jean and Geneva. They were to later adopt a daughter of Emma's sister, Alma, and her name was Marjorie. Thus they raised a household of four daughters.
They moved away from the Gas City and Upland areas after 1915 and lived in Ft. Wayne, Allen County, Indiana. Gladys graduated from Central High School, while Jean and Geneva attended and graduated from South Side High School. Their daughter Gladys ventured to Cuba and then on to Puerto Rico where she lived many years with her husband Franklin Schulze. While Gladys was in the tropics her mother became ill with cancer and Geneva took care of her until she passed away on a Memorial Day week-end. Geneva also took care of her father when he also passed away with cancer a few years later.
Emma E. Woodard Albert died in Fort Wayne, Indiana on 29 May 1930, and is buried at the Jefferson Cemetery, Grant County, Indiana.
