Subject
Coffelt, Emma J. Fravel (1849- before 1920)
Description
Emma was born in Edinburg to Samuel (1809-1887) and Mary (Painter) (1814-1888) Fravel. Her mother was from Indian Fort Farm.
She grew up in a farming family in Edinburg and appears there with her family in the 1860, 1870, and 1880 censuses.
By 1900, she had been married to Perry Samuel Coffelt (1848-1930) for seven years. He was originally from Lantz Mills, the son of William and Catherine Coffelt, and worked as a house painter when he was young. He had been married once before.
By 1900, however, Perry was listed as 52-year old farmer. Ten years later, the couple appeared together again and lived on Koontz Road.
By 1920, however, Emma’s husband was a widow living with his sister, Annie.

Identified in July 2003 by Nancye L. Bowman, great great niece of Ellen Fravel Coffelt. She identified the subject as "Ellen Fravel Coffelt" but after further research, we believe it was Emma. There was a sister, Martha Ellen, who was older but she never married.
