Emma and Melvin were living in the Crowley, LA area and were separated. Emma was a waitress, supporting her self and her 6 small children.
While she was at work on night, a bullet was fired through the window/door, striking and killing Emma. Melvin was the only suspect, but "he was never charged since he was a Mason." (Quote from a letter from Lilith Hunter Romig, Emma's granddaughter, to Floyd Hunter, 1999).
Emma's murder was never solved and her grave has never been found. One of the big secret/mysteries of this family.
Emma's daughter, Ailsie, never spoke about her Mother or Father. All that is known of this, comes from Emma's other daughter, Cecilia Brown Smith.

===================
Note: There is some discussion about his birth year. I have fixed it as 1860 based on the information on his marriage license with Emma McClung.
They were married on Jan 10, 1887 and he stated his age as 26 years old. If his birth was in Sept 1859, then he would have been 27 years old on his wedding day. There may be contradicting evidence, but I haven't seen it.
====================
John McClung married Susan Lowman, their kid was Emma, and Emma married Melvin.
