Emmar continued her 1918 testimony by indicating that she had three sisters, one brother, one half-sister, and one-half brother.<\/p>\n

Her brother, Ira Sargent, returned to Illinois and died. Her sister Minerva married a tailor named Mike Strobel and lived in Chicago, Illinois. Her sister Lucretia married a Davis County man named Fred Price. Price was also a soldier and, as of Emmar’s statement, they were living in Colorado. Her last remaining full sister was the late Martha Bell.<\/p>\n

Emmar does not mention her two half-siblings by name–only indicating that Asa Landon took them with him to Canada when the Civil War broke out.<\/p>\n

Emmar and James Pollard lived in Davis County, Iowa, and Schuyler County, Missouri–moving between those two locations several times. They separated for a short time and eventually ended up in Ashland, Ashland County, Nebraska, where Pollard had a daughter living.<\/p>\n
