Consider the possibility that the person who provided the information for the obit was not aware of Bertie's existence.  Perhaps she died many years before Emma had any children and thus her name may not have ever been mentioned when family got together or when Emma talked about her family.

She is listed on the 1880 Census in Brighton Townships as the 8 year old daughter of Henry and Catherine WEISS. Emma Jane WEISS appears on the same census as a 15 year old daughter. However, Emma Jane's obit states she was the youngest child of Henry and Catherine. Any info on Bertie would be appreciated!
