** Note: The newspaper did say "Sylvester McPhail," but it is believed that was an error, and he was really "Sylvester Emerson." The 1910 Mitchell co. Federal census shows a Sylvester Emerson living in Liberty township, and 32 years old, which would make him the same age as Emma.
It also shows a Robert McPhail, age 65, living in Liberty twp.
