Description
Photo of an earlier photograph of Emma Alice (Brinker) Jewell, seated, with her children: William H. (right), Catherine L. (left), and George S. Jewell (on his mother's lap).
Emma A. Brinker was the daughter of Henry and Lizzie (Craig) Brinker. She married Robert H. Jewell (1898-1943) in May 1918, in Strasburg. He was the son of Solomon Robert (1864-1938) and Sarah Catherine (Middleton) (1864-1940) Jewell, of Fishers Hill, near Strasburg. The well-known Reverend, J.D. Hamaker, officiated.
Her husband’s occupation was “Miller”. Later that year, Robert registered for the WWI draft. The couple lived on Fishers Hill, and Robert worked for Levi Keller there.
Over the next decades, the family rented farms around the area and Robert worked as a farmhand. In 1920, they were on Back Road, in 1930 they lived near Posey Hollow Road and Valley Pike in the Davis District, and by 1940, they lived in Toms Brook.
On October 23, 1943, Emma’s husband was struck and killed by an automobile as he walked along US Route 11 near Fisher’s Hill in the early evening. Emma, herself, died not quite two weeks later. Her death certificate noted the cause of death as “Acute dilation of the heart”.
