#OTD 28 April 1878, Emma Martini was born in Centralia, Illinois, to John J Martini and Catharine Vosseler, my great-grandmother's half-sister. Emma was the last of 10 children born to Catharine and her two husbands. Three of those children had died young. Emma was the only child to have an official birth certificate, as Illinois first mandated them that year. Emma and her two older sisters, Anna and Josephine, became milliners, opened their own business in St. Louis, then expanded into dry goods. None of them married. Emma and Anna died of pneumonia within days of each other in 1961.

I've always liked the number 222 for some reason, so thought I'd share this milestone. As of now, 222 of the soldiers I've had the privilege of researching have been identified and returned home.
