 General Notes:
The Texas death records indicate that her spouse's name was Davenport but I can find no information about such a marriage either in Texas or in West Virginia. The 1920 Census shows her as widowed and living back with her parents and strangely still using her maiden name. Her gravestone has her name as Emma G. Davenport indicates that she was indeed married to a Davenport at some time.
There is also a marriage license issued in 1909 in Marion County, West Virginia for a Gladys E. Travis and Howard A. Dyke. Unfortunately the marriage license does not list any information about parents so it is not known if this was the right person or not but most researchers believe it is correct.
