Jan 1887 There is an Indiana marriage record indicating: Emma Jones - Willis A. Nave married Sept 6, 1897 Howard County, Indiana (Book C-8, Page 113) Analysis (validity is certainly suspect): Willis Nave was Emma's second husband. When they got married, she gave her surname as Jones (probably her birth surname), not Brumfiel as was her children's surname. This indicates that Emma was divorced from ? Brumfiel, vice widowed. If her first husband had died, it is likely she would have retained his surname until her next marriage. Lacking any other information, suggest looking for James Brumfiel as the first husband on the chance that Emma's first born son was named after his father.
