There was a source at one point indicating that she was born in Illinois which seems at least possible given that her parents married the year before in Illinois.
Emma Timmons passed away before 1880 in Ohio, United States. (Based solely on the fact that she doesn't show up on the 1880 census with her household when she would have only been 12 years old.)
