The story goes that Emma and Dyson both worked in the same mill, Slade Lane Mill. Emma was a cloth finisher- she would go over material checking and correcting imperfections. One day when Emma was about 21 she saw Dyson walk up to the house next door and she said, "There is the man I'm going to marry!"
Emma was not so assured on the night before her wedding. Pat Whitehouse tells the story of her mother having met a friend of Emma's many years later, a Sarah Marshall. Sarah had gone for a walk with Emma on Carr Green lane on the eve of her wedding and Emma told her she didn't want to marry Dyson after all. No one knows whether Sarah was instrumental in changing Emma's mind, but she was married as planned the following day.
Emma was six months older than Dyson and, as Blanche Judson put it, "He never forgave her for it."
Emma was proud of her lineage. And she was something of a hypochondriac - she actually enjoyed poor health. Everyone waited on her. Even her peas were pureed for her.
Blanche travelled to Canada with Emma when Blanche was 15. They slept in the same room together and Emma kept her up until 3 AM going over her youth.
After Dyson's death she moved to South Pasadena, California, where she lived with her son, Walter. Later he built a duplex on Prospect St. and later on State St. where she lived until her death.
