Name

Emma Oni Walker

Her middle name Oni probably came from somewhere, but no familial references to Oni have been so far discovered.

Birth

Her death certificate gives her birth year as 1851, but all of the census records have her birth year later than that. Her grave marker has 1852. Probably the death certificate has the wrong year.
