Eliza Jane Emmitt (my grandmother) widowed mother of George Elbert was living with the above family in Terre Haute, Vigo County IN. until her death in 1906. Her body was shipped to my Grandfather James Rufus Emmitt's home in Waverly on "North Emmitt Ave" to be buried beside her husband Robert in Evergreen Cem. in Pike Co. Waverly OH. I have searched for years and have found no living decendents of any of the above except my g grandmother Eliza Jane Emmitt. Any help with the above will be greatly appreciated.
