Title

Emma Jane Brumback and Eliza Crim

Subject

Brumback, Emma Jane Crim (1885-1976)
Crim, Elizabeth "Eliza" Clinedinst (1838-1931)

Description

Portrait photograph of Emma Jane (Crim) Brumback and her mother, Eliza Crim, posed together.

It is likely this photograph was taken either on an Easter Sunday or a New Market Battle re-enactment day because it was the custom for United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC) members to wear black on those days. Both of these ladies were members of this organization that honors Confederate veterans and the Confederacy.

Emma Jane was born in New Market, and had a brother, Frank, and a sister, Mary Libby Crim. All three siblings are buried in the Emmanuel Lutheran Church Cemetery in New Market.

Emma Jane Crim married Frank Holiday Brumback in 1907. The couple raised one daughter, Mary Elizabeth Brumback, born in 1915. Frank was a successful attorney and the family lived in Woodstock.

Eliza (Clinedinst) Crim from New Market was also known as “Mother Crim” due to her actions following the Civil War Battle of New Market caring for cadets from the Virginia Military Institute.
