Biography

Emily was born in Connecticut in 1925.

Emily married Joseph M. N. Harding on 27 March 1846 in Baltimore, Maryland, United States.^[1]

By 1860 they were in Missouri with 5 children. Note that Nathan was Joseph's second name. ^[2]

Her husband died in 1869. The 1870 census, shows Emily with Orrie and Walter from 1860 with new children Yancey (9), Emily (7), and John (5). There were two teenaged domestic servants.^[3] This list shifted again in 1880, showing her with Yancy M. (17), John T. (14), Leof (11), and Orrie (27).^[4] Leof is a bit of a surprise, as he was not listed in the 1870 census, enumerated in August, about a year after the death of Emily's husband.

By 1900 Emily was living with the family of son John T. Harding in Center Township, Vernon, Missouri. Emily had been a mother of 9 children, 6 still living.^[5] Then in 1910 she had shifted to the home of another son, Joseph E. Harding in Nevada, Vernon, Missouri.^[6]

Mrs. Emily Dyer Harding died at the Nevada, Missouri home of her son Judge Joseph E. Harding in 1913. An obituary also mentions sons John T. and Orie Harding of Kansas city. Other survivors may be omitted here because the clipping is truncated. Family mentioned include her husband Dr. Joseph N. M. Harding, father Allen A. Badger, brother Dr. Albert Badger (d. two years before in Vernon county), and Admiral Badger of the United States Navy.^[7] She was buried in Deepwood Cemetery, Nevada^[8] where her husband was the first person interred.^[7]

Research Notes

Emily is shown as Amelia in a biographical index with no family names to ensure that the record is hers. The name Amelia also appears in some Ancestry trees and at FamilySearch, but never with a source. I am going to consider Emily accurate and Amelia an error unless a source for Amelia is found.

She is also called Amelia D., born 1825 to Albert Allen Badger (1801-1820) and Asenath Crosby, in a Badger family genealogy.^[9] Correct or not, this may be the source of all the other appearances of Amelia.
