     Information on her birth and death comes from her son George and her obituary, published in a Sturgis newspaper, dated 21 January 1937. The obituary gives the marriage to her first husband, Charles Hedrick on 12 January 1891. They had two children, Lee and Mabel, before Charles died in 1894. At the time of Emma's death, Lee lived in Winfield, KS and her daughter, believed to be Mabel, or Mae in the obituary, is Mrs Mae Naylor of Billings, MT. The obituary says; "she married William S. Hotchkin in Augusta, IL but does't give the date of their marriage. They moved to Central City, NB where they lived until 1919 when they moved to Sturgis. She is survived by her husband William, six sons, Lee Hedrick of Winfield, KS; Chester Hotchkin of Madison, SD; Emery and George of Detroit, MI; Glen of San Francisco, CA; Wilbur of Sturgis; six daughters, Mrs Mae Naylor and Mrs Lucile Ness of Billings, MT; Mrs Dacel Ness of Union Center, SD; Mrs Iva West of Deadwood, SD; Mrs Evelyn Tarr of Detroit, MI; Mrs Pearl Gorman of Goble, MI; one sister, Mrs Anna Conant of Long Beach, CA; and 28 grandchildren."
     On 18 Deember 1916, Emma L. Hotchkin granted Sec. 23, T 7, R 11 to Henry S. Bruck; but the Compiler did not locate the date or method by which she received this property.

The files continue to say that this foreclosure occurred from a loan made by daughter Evelyn Tarr and husband Jack to Emma.⁵
