Biography

Emeretta was born about 1860. She is the daughter of David Bradley and Elizabeth Utman. ^[1][2]

She married Eugene Keith^[3] and they had two daughters in Cleveland^[4][5]

She died at the age of 25 from complications of her third pregnancy. Emma's death register lists her address as Bridge Street, Cleveland, OH. It also indicates that she was taken to Morrisburg Ontario for burial. ^[6]Cemetery records agree^[7]

Old Williamsburg Cemetery (otherwise known as Williamsburg Union Cemetery, Williamsburg, Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry United Counties Ontario) is likely the cemetery where she was buried, as that is where her parents, David and Elizabeth Bradley were laid to rest.

After Emma's death, her husband brought their two daughters back to Canada to live with Emeretta's parents, the Bradleys. (see their profiles for census confirmation).
