Born circa 1847. She was older than the age recorded in at least two obituaries. A brief mention in a newspaper states that a "fine stone" was placed at her Canadice gravesite in 1922, at Canadice Corners Cemetery.

Emily married Clark Barker on November 15, 1865. They had at least one child, Charles Sheldon Barker.

"Prattsburg - Mr. Clark Barker has rented his farm near the county line hill and moved to Wayland, where his wife is engaged in the millinery business." (The Prattsburg News, 18 Nov 1880)

Per 1880 NY census records, dated June 12, 1880 taken at Prattsburg, NY, Emily was recorded living with her husband Clark Barker and their son.

Emily and Charles divorced prior to November 1883, which is when Emily married Albert Wicks.
