Aunt Emma was a greenhorn Chicago sales girl who wanted some of that free land in Colorado and she and two other maidens came to Colorado and homesteaded about 20 miles northeast of Limon Colorado. You had to live on the land and improve it for 5 years to get a clear title so they built a frame house where the three homesteads joined and they all lived together on their seperate lands. I don't know if the three proved their homesteads but Aunt Emma did. She was terribly terribly frugil to be generous with a description and married my Uncle Tom Cady and bossed and lead him around all the rest of his life. When I was young we would stop by the little grocery store in Brush, Colo. that they ran and she would not invite us to the house but he would slip us a sack of candy when she was not watching. In later years she really did like my mother but none of the Cady family. She even made a saving bond out to her and Mother joint ownership. As mother died first we never knew what it was all about. She left no will but imposed on her neighbors saying that she had it all in her head and that she was leaving something to each. When she died, her only relative, a lawyer from the East Coast claimed her estate and none of her neighbors were compensated for their efforts. I went by and tried to get them to sue the estate because they did have some claims but they did not want the hassle. She had two babies, a little stillborn boy and a beautiful red headed girl who lived only a few hours. They are buried in the Methodist Walks Camp Cemetery north of Limon, Colo. in the second lot north of their grandfather Thomas Cady. After we were married, Aunt Emma used to come to Arizona and visit us for weeks. She was a great guest and we enjoyed her visits a lot but the last time I went by Colorado Springs and knocked on the door she answered and said that she was going shopping with a neigbor and that was all of that. She was a great guest but a terrible host. When mother died in 1959, we sent her a telegram of the death and two days later she came walking in at Clarkdale, Az., where Mother and Father lived, carrying an old leather case. She had taken the bus and made three transfers as she wanted to pay her last respects. She was 80 years old. We were very fond of Aunt Emma and realize that she was born struggling to exist and this selfish grasping personality never rubbed off after she really did not have to struggle to survive. She is buried next to her husband, Thomas B. Cady, in the Evergreen Cemetery, 1001 So. Hancock Ave. Colorado Springs, Colo 80903. She is buried in block 237 space 286. There is a flat family stone on the north side of block 137- Information from a letter fron Cemetery .
