She was 22, single, working as telephone operator. According to Nancee Letter, wife of Jack, Emma never had any children. Interesting info re Tom Letter, Gainesville (near), tX, grandson of Albert and son of Elmer Letter. Emma Letter married Alford Joseph Galli out in CA. Apparently, Hilda and John Schoenborn came to CA also, as did Roland Wuertz, and possibly his mother, Emma Fietsam Wuertz. Alford Galli was somehow connected to the movie industry -- Tom Letter did not know exactly how, but thought he might have been an extra/stunt man/???? Emma started a poultry farm, raising chickens and turkeys. Tom said that during the 1930's she shipped a turkey back to his family. The turkey weight 75 lb (???) when it started the trip, and was considerably thinner when it arrived in IL. I have a copy of Emma's death certificate.
