Biography
Emma was born in 1883. She was married to William Quinn in 1901 in the Albany Methodist Church. Emma took the last name Simpson when she married William Quinn. Her marriage was not a happy one and they separated in 1907. The 1910 US Census shows her living at the Schenectady Almshouse on 834 Duane Ave as a 28 yo nurse. On 9 May 1910 she took her own life by drinking carbolic acid shortly after her brother had committed suicide with a gun and months after losing her father. Although contributing causes to her death were numerous, Bipolar or a major depressive disorder may have run in the family.
