General Notes: Husband - George Emery

---

He was born in Northampton County, PA, where his father settled after coming to America and passed the remainder of his life. George Emery came to Red Bank township, Armstrong County, and bought a farm of one hundred acres, part of which lay over the line in Jefferson County. He carried on farming all his life, from this region mov­ing to Tennessee, where he bought a tract of 125 acres, which he cultivated for twenty years.
He was or­iginally a Democrat in politics, but later be­came a Republican, and he was a Union sym­pathizer during the Civil war, in which he served two years as a member of the 2d Penn­sylvania Cavalry; he was discharged on ac­count of sickness. He served as supervisor of his township, and was a member of the Luth­eran Church.
