Emma Catherine had a sister named Henrietta House. Henrietta married Nathaniel Hammond and they had many children one of them being Heber Hammond. Heber married Anna Collins. Heber is grandfather to my husband. My records show that Henrietta came to Merrill, Iowa to help care for her sister, Emma House Hancer, wife of Fred Hancer. This is where Henrietta met and married Nathaniel Hammond in 1881. I would love to hear from you as there is defintely a family connection.
