Sarah Emma Austin, known as "Emma"...
Thanks to Sue Whitaker for sharing this photo. I think the date on this stone for Emma's birth is wrong; according to census, she was born about 1872. Her death certificate gives this info: Date of birth: Oct 21, 1872; Age at death: 56 years 2 months 12 days; informant was her son Jesse. I don't know who gave the information to the stone cutter for the cemetery stone but it seems they made a mistake.
Marriage to Charles Solomon Harris in 1891: 13 September, in Loraine, Adams, Illinois, USA; they divorced in March, 1915.
They had a family: 1900 census indicates husband & wife, and sons: Charles, Jesse, and Floyd.
1910 Census indicates husband, wife, and 4 sons.
They are listed on ancestry.com files as:
Malone Charles Harris 1893–1942
Jesse Olen Harris 1894–1951
Floyd Bertram Harris 1896–1966
Everett Austin Harris 1901–1979
Emma later married Steven Stillwell, but she is buried as Emma Harris, beside her first husband, Charles S Harris.
Her obit was in Quincy Herald Whig Thursday Jan 3, 1929 page 16: "Mrs Stillwell of Loraine dies; 4 sons survive" is heading of article... She had been living in home of her mother Laura Austin; she first married Charles Harris who died 8 years ago. This article named the sons, but not the current husband. (Steve Stillwell).
