Re: Queen Emma (Hudson) Rushton Ross

Hi Eleanor:

Perhaps now that Emma and her family have been brought to the genealogical forefront, many of us will realize this fact as well.

Such a lovely lady despite losing 6 of her 9 children in infancy and 2 husbands. It takes someone very special to do this indeed. Many could learn a few of life’s lessons from her.

I am surprised no one has commented but Emma was a lovely woman. She always seemed to maintain a quiet good cheer and a kind word, never a cross one.
