A picture that should be a Valentine - Emma Louise Miller Albertson

Emma Louise Miller/ Albertson
9 Nov 1883 Snowville, Ut
2 Jul 1930 Buried in Albion, Id

Wouldn't you agree that this picture of Emma Louise Miller merits to be made into a valentine?  Beautiful lady dressed in the most beautiful white dress.  Emma is not related to me. She married a first cousin twice removed of mine Cyrus Albertson.  Cyrus and my common ancestor are Thomas and Mary Hepworth.  I have little information on Emma and Cyrus but, the pictures I have are priceless and I wanted to share them with you.  

Emma Louise was born in Snowville, Utah 9 Nov 1883.  I don't know when the Miller family moved to Albion, Idaho. 

Cyrus is the fifth child of Charles and Mary Ann Hepworth Albertson born 27 Nov, 1877 in Albion ID. .  He was fourteen when his mother died. 

Emma was seventeen when 

she married Cyrus Albertson who was twenty three.

They were married in

 Albion, Idaho on

Cyrus Albertson
1 May 1901 Albion, ID

1 May 1901.  A favorite day of mine; I was born on May day forty one years later.  I do know Cyrus was a partner in the Albion Meat Market with Great Uncle Joe Hepworth at one time when Cyrus was very young man.  Most of his life he was a farmer.

Family Picture
Emma & Cyrus  two children. 

 Beautiful family picture of the Albertson family.  Again Emma is wearing a beautiful dress.  I wish I knew if it's a white dress or a light pink or blue or yellow.  If the children are the first two children born to them they are both boys.  Emma and Cyrus had nine children; seven boys and two girls.  Sadly Emma died at the early age of forty six. 2 July 1930.  Her youngest child was four years old.  Two of her children were married.  

Cyrus did marry again.  He died at age seventy eight on 7 Nov 1956.  Both Emma and Cyrus are buried in the Albion Id. Cemetery.

History  (in part) 

"Charles's folks were farmers and had a side interest in raising peacocks for themselves and neighbors.  They considered the peacock both ornamental and beneficial  Instead of turkey, the Albertsons felt the peacock, at times, to be a rare delicacy to be served to guests on holidays. 

The Henry Albertson family were of the First Methodist Church.  At the age of twelve years, Charles became a convert to the Reorganized Church of Latter Day Saints (Josephites,)  but was not baptized until later in life.  

When seventeen years old Charles, with the permission of his parents, joined the Army and served in the Civil War where he was wounded. 

When Fort Douglas was built, in the Utah Territory, Charles Albertson was sent as one of the recruits to occupy and man the Fort to keep peace and safety here. 

In about 1869 Charles Albertson met and married Mary Ann Hepworth.

 (29 Sep 1869).

Charles is no longer in the Army and built or occupied a home in an old town between Salt Lake City and Tooele, Utah, called E-T.  Charles had a small farm and also was a teacher in a small school near his home.  

Mary Ann Hepworth Albertson had a small eating establishment between Tooele, Utah and Salt Lake City.  

THis is the end of the history that I have. 

Mary Ann was fifteen years old when she married Charles who was twenty four.  They had twelve children.  The first two children Charles Hepworth and Mary Jane were born in Salt Lake City.  The next two children Eva and Edna were born in Tooele, Utah.  The next eight children were born in Albion, Idaho.   Number six and seven, Thomas and Elizabeth were twins born on 9 Sep 1879.

Elizabeth died the same day and Thomas died at age five. 

Mary Ann died at the early age of thirty eight. leaving ten children still living at home.   She also joined the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ called Josephites  at that time on 22 March 1871.

Charles did not remarry and died in 1911 in Kansas.
