You have multiple ways to attack your question. The first, and most obvious, is death certificates.
A woman born in 1888 would likely have lived long enough to be in the death certificate period when she died. Her own certificate would give the informant's best remembrance as to her maiden name. Furthermore, the death certificates of any and all her kids would be expected to similarly give the maiden name of their mother, as best remembered by the informants.
Next, obituaries. Her own obituary would potentially name surviving siblings -- whose names would either match or be different from those of the Emma in the 1900 census. Further, any of those siblings of the 1900 Emma who died before YOUR Emma died could have obituaries naming their own sister Emma -- whose new surname and location could be used to test your woman.
Next, and not finally, checking for an estate for the parents named in the 1900 could lead you to the names of the heirs, potentially including your Emma with her married name.
There are many other ways to test your theory. These are some of the most obvious and accesisble ways. --Carl
