I'm looking for people in my husband's tree, and I'm running into a bit of a roadblock when it comes to Emma Adele. So far I've been unable to find her parents or siblings, or even a definite birthplace or date. (Haven't been able to make an IL trip yet to check primary sources first hand. Online resources are wonderful, but we'll always need those primaries.)
Thanks in advance for any help.
What I have so far:
Emma Adele Henry
b. abt 1850 (possibly in Gilman, Iroquois, IL)
m. 13 Oct 1867 (Vol A, Page 10, Lic #191)
to Dr. Firman Christman Brooke (1842 in PA-1918), in Iroquois Co., IL
d. early Dec 1879 (probably in either Douglas or Ridgeland Tshp, Iroquois Co., IL)
Cause of death: complications due to childbirth
Children:
1. Vinnie Belle Brooke, b. abt Apr 1875, d. ?
m. John H. Missey 22 Nov 1893 (adopted 1 son)
2. Georgia Frances Brooke, b. abt Dec 1876, d. abt 1963
m. George M. L. Nisbet/Nesbit aft 1900 but bef 1918 (children - unknown)
3. Emma Adele Brooke, b. 3 Dec 1879, named for her mother who died shortly after her birth (same day to 1 week later, depending on stories)
m1. Reuben I. Campbell (1877-1918 of influenza) 22 Aug 1900 (3 children)
m2. Daniel R. Taylor (? - 1933) 26 Jun 1926 (no children)
m3. Henry P. Olinger (1884-1967) 10 Sept 1949 (no children)
Census:
The 1870 census shows Firman and Emma Brooke (ennumerator wrote (scribbled?) the name as "Fallins Broke") in Gilman, Douglas Tshp, Iroquois Co., IL.
Firman Brooke married twice more:
M2: Lucy Bunting (? - 1896) 13 Oct 1880 (yes, the anniversary of his first wedding)
M3: Abby (aka Addie) Shaw Jones (1853-?) Oct 1899
Other notes from family stories:
Emma either had an Aunt Hattie Henry, or had a sister named Hattie
One of Emma's sisters married a man named (Frank?) Wright, and had a son named Frank (in Gilman, IL?)
One family story says her name was Emma Adele Wright, but her marriage license says "Emma Adele Henry".
