NOTE - Emma had indicated a total of 8 children with 6 still alive. I know of only 7 total names so there might be a missing one that died early in infancy. Of the 2 children that would have died before the 1900 census, it is highly probably that Ella had already died because she was not listed with the family in the 1880 census when she would have been about 12 years old. The other name probably be the infant that died early. (Brian L. Lightfoot)
