Emma

Emma was my granny, German born gal, from Alsace-Lorraine, her will was homespun. Her mom had six young children to corral - emigrating in eighteen eighty-one. Enduring the trip 'cross the waves alone Pop had come early to find them a place. With folks like hers, Emma kept up the pace - hard-working, trust-worthy, independent. Dark-haired beauty with a smile on her face, my Emma could handle any event.

It's a true story so that wasn't hard. She was a jewel. She worked as a waitress at the World's Fair in St. Louis in 1904 along with three of her sisters.
