She attended the rural schools near her home and was united in marriage with C. Fred Stammer on February 7, 1906. They farmed north of Aspinwall until retiring to Manning in 1940. Her husband passed away June 15, 1946, and Emma continued to make her home in Manning. A few weeks ago because of failing health, she went to the home of her daughter where she passed away quietly on Thursday noon, November 20, 1975, at the age of 95 years, 3 months, and 21 days.
