mother, Emma Julia Guiteau (Tinsley) (1838-1882), died
when Emma was two years old. Emma went to live with Cousin Electa until she was about
eight, around 1888, after her father William T. Tinsley
(1833-1893) was married (in 1885) to Hannah Rogers
(Taft, Tinsley) (1844-1932).
About

to those pictures. Child #9 is Jonathan's grandmother Emma
