Biography
Emma Lydia Kirkland was born on or about May 10, 1855,[1] in Prince Edward Island. She was the youngest child of John Kirkland and Elizabeth Weeks. Emma's mother died when she was still quite young, in 1858. [2]
In 1861, Emma was living with her father, step-mother and four siblings in Wicklow, New Brunswick.[3] In 1870, at the age of 17, Emma was living in Houlton, Maine working as a domestic servant in the household of her older brother, James.[4]
About 1873,[5] Emma married Isaac Newton Withrow. Isaac had been boarding with James's household in 1871. They lived in Waterville, Carleton County, New Brunswick, where they had 9 children. Sometime before 1901, the family moved to Moose Jaw, Assiniboia (now Saskatchewan).
On July 21, 1929, Emma, by that point a widow, married Benjamin Franklin Richardson.[6] At the time of this marriage, she was a resident of Howard Brook, New Brunswick.
