HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO...
Emma Adelia Parker VanMeter
Emma was a first cousin to my great-grandmother Massie Parker Treat (mother of my grandmother Christie Treat Thomas). Emma married John I. VanMeter 12 December 1883, and they had three sons: James Noble, Sanford Stanton, and a third son whose name is not known (his birth was apparently unrecorded). They lived near Waverly, Ohio.
Emma died tragically at age 29.
As the saying goes: "It was in all the papers."
James Noble VanMeter died at age 20 in the Ohio Home for Epilepsy, where he had been a resident for 10 years.
Sanford Stanton VanMeter lived to age 75. He married Edna May Morehead and they had eight children. Stanton died of a massive heart attack just a few months after the death of his wife, for whom he was deeply grieving.
