bullet  Noted events in her life were:

• She appeared on the 1900 US Census in Detroit, MI on 7 June 1900. 1

1900 US Census
Sheet 15A, District 141, Family 333, Ward 12
Detroit, Wayne County, Michigan
674 Williams Street; Home rented
Emily L. Renton..Daughter..Jun 1892..7..MI..At School
(Living with parents.)
.

• She appeared on the 1910 US Census in Harvey, IL on 30 April 1910. 2

1910 US Census
Sheet 6A, District 119, Family 107, Roll 241, Ward 2
Harvey, Cook County, Illinois
155 - 155th Street; House rented
Emily Renton..Daughter..17..MI..Married..0/0
(Living with widowed mother.)

NOTE - Even though the census form indicated that Emily was married and had zero children, I doubt that she was, still living at home, and still using her maiden name. This was probably an enumerator error. This was not a daughter-in-law because Emily appears with the family at age 7 on the 1900 US Census.
.

• She was buried on 30 June 1977 in the Crestlawn Cemetery in Vero Beach, FL.
