When moving from Wisc to Minnesota, Emma's motherbecame sick and wanted to return to Wisc. They were traveling in a
covered wagon at the time and she died before they could get back. The father married again so there would be someone
to take care of the children. She apparantly didn't care for the first wife's children and allowed Emma's feet to freeze. That is
when Emma was taken in by the Redding family.[Maddison-History.FTWGED.FBK 2004102402.FTW]
