Biography

Emma Greiner was born in April 1862 to parents Charles and Christina Greiner in Canada.

At the age of 24, Emma married George Albert Stanton, who was 28 years old. The wedding took place on March 16, 1884 in Kingsville, Essex County in Ontario, Canada. Their witnesses were Oscar and Wilhemma Greiner. Daniel was working as a miller at the time and the couple were both Methodists.^[1]

The Stanton Family was recorded as living in Kingsville, Essex South in Ontario during the Census of Canada, 1891. The household contained George (age 35, a wage earner as a miller) and Emma (age 29) plus children Beatrice (age 3) and Delbert (age 1). Both George and Emma could read and write.^[2]

During the 1900 United States Census, Emma was 38 years old. She had been married for thirteen years and had two living children from two births. She could read and write, and had been living in the United States for eight years (immigration year 1882). Emma lived in on Washington Street in Belding, Ionia County, Michigan with husband George (age 42, physician), mother-in-law Julia (age 79) and children Beatrice E. (age 12, at school) and Adelbert G. (age 10, at school). Niece Maud Stanton was also recorded with the family.^[3]

The family continued to live on Washington Street in Belding, Ionia County, Michigan during the 1910 United States Census. The household included George A. (age 52, general practitioner physician) and Emma (age 47), who had been married for 23 years, plus children Beatrice E. (age 22, at school) and Adelbert G. (age 20, at school). A lodger, Alice J. Kelly (age 90, a bookkeeper at a refrigerator factory), also lived with the family.^[4]

By the 1920 United States Census, the family owned their home at 123 Washington Street in Belding, Ionia County, Michigan. Now living at the residence was George A. (age 22, physician with a local practice) and Emma (age 57).^[5]

Emma G. (age 68) and George A. (age 70) continued to live in the same house, valued at $6000, during the 1930 United States Census. George was still a general practice physician. The couple could both read and write and owned a radio set.^[6]

The couple were in the same house for the 1940 United State Census but, by now, George A., at 82, and Emma G. Stanton, age 77, were unable to work. It was recorded that George went to school through the eighth grade while Emma completed three years of high school.^[7]
