This concludes Emma's 1919. When the census was taken the following year in 1920, Emma still lived in Newark with her father, sisters Rose (age 18) and Ruth (age 8), and brother, John (age 15). Emma’s younger brother, William H. Dickinson married Delaphine (“Mary”) Decker on October 8, 1925 in Newark, New Jersey. On the 1930 census, she was still living with her father, sisters Rose and Ruth, and brother John. Harry died five years later in 1935 at the age of 71.
In 1937, Emma's youngest sister, Ruth, married James W. Lindsey in Newark, at the age of 26. Together Ruth and James had one daughter, Margaret Lindsey, who we owe thanks for carefully preserving and graciously sharing this diary. Emma's brother William (W.H) was a minister, her sister, Rose, was a school teacher who never married. Her sister Elizabeth married and had a family. Her brother, John, served in the Army in World War II and was a freemason employed by Prudential. Many of them rest at Cedar Ridge Cemetery in Blairstown, New Jersey.
