Emilie Priscilla Gibson Stafford died Friday, Feb. 9, 2007, at Barclay Friends in West Chester.
Until recently, she was a resident at The Hickman.
Emilie was born in West Chester, and was the sixth of eight children of the late Mabel Ridgley and Charles Wesley Gibson.
She was a homemaker all of her life.
Her mother died when she was 10, and at age 14 she became the ‘woman of the house' for her father and three brothers, following a move to Sea Isle City, N.J.
In 1933 she returned to West Chester after marrying Howard A. Stafford, with whom she shared 49 years of marriage, until his death in 1982.
She was a member of the West Chester United Methodist Church for over 70 years.
She was a loving and much-loved focal person in the extended Gibson and Stafford families.
She loved long walks on the beach and the moon rising over the ocean, was active in her lodge and with her card club, and was a formidable pinochle player.
She is survived by her sons, Howard A. Stafford Jr. of Cincinnati, Ohio and Charles A. Stafford of Las Vegas, Nev.; daughters-in-law, Kathleen (Pat) of Hershey, and Mary Ann of Cincinnati; sister, Rebecca Carey of West Chester; six grandchildren, Cheryl, Chuck, Theresa, Bonnie, Emilie and Michael; and six great-granddaughters, Heather, Sara, Colleen, Tara, Katie and Paula. 		GIBSON, Emilie Priscilla (I130818)

Emma Lucinda (?) Stafford turns out to be a most interesting subject. If this all happened in a novel, I'm sure someone would be suggesting a fantasy land story, not a real life happening. As you clearly know, Harvey Rathbun is the man who married Emma on 12-25-1884. A check of good ol' Harvey with the correct date and a 20-year time span will find all sorts of information on him.
Born 19 APR 1862, he married a Nellie Woolston during 1884 (no month given) in Saginaw, Michigan, later in that same year marrying Emma. Apparently within a very short period of time following the marriage to Emma, that marriage was set aside in some manner. One might well wonder how Nellie handled it.
Several years later, in 1890, Harvey marries a woman named Margaret Rathbun; said to have been born in 1864, she may have been a cousin if her surname is correct. Not to be overlooked in this most curious drama, Emma is also shown marrying a Charles Rathburn on the same day she married Harvey Rathbun. Where or how Charles comes into this picture I have no clue! The only record of him seems only to show up on Emma's marriage day. All of this comes from the LDS Internet site.

In 1889, Emma married George Dorn, that marriage terminated when George died in what may have been a construction accident January 19,1891. That 1892 book on the local history of Genesee, Lapeer and Tuscola counties gives some information that otherwise would have been lost forever, much as the loss of the 1890 census created a loss for families all across the nation. Emma is named as one of the children of James Irwin Stafford and his wife, Almina, Emma noted as being the widow of Dorn and the mother of one child, Iza B. Dorn's death in 1891, I am convinced, may partially explain the death date of 1892 as given in Emma's obituary, that date possibly being given by Iza Belle upon her mother's death in 1917. Iza would have been about six years old at the time of Dorn's death, could easily have confused the date in her head in 1917 at the time of Emma's death.

How did Emma and Iza Belle arrive at the Sweet name? I have no clue! My guess is that Emma simply moved from Genesee county to Saginaw county and started telling everyone she was a Sweet, her daughter was a Sweet, and everyone they came in contact with bought into it. Life was somewhat simpler in the "good old days." I jumped through hoops for several years trying to find a Harvey Sweet without success, finally coming to the conclusion that Iza Belle's marriage record showing a "Harvey" with no surname means that Harvey Rathbun, while not necessarily in attendance at the wedding, was given some portion of the "family" by having his name entered, albeit without the surname. John Stanley Wallace and Iza Belle Sweet, or whatever surname she should have had, married only a few months after John Stanley's father died in April of 1906, yet Alexander's name (no surname) is given on the register along with Clara, by then his widow. How Emma shows up as Emma Allison is yet another mystery!

My dad's sister, Marion Virginia Wallace, traveled from Saginaw about once every month to visit someone in Montrose when I was a kid. She may have mentioned someone's first name on several occasions, that name escaping me at this late date. Had I been more curious at that time, in the late 1940s and 1950s, the question should have been asked as to who it was Marion was going to visit. Looking back on it now, it's possible she was going to visit a Stafford during those years for all I know.

Emma is named as one of the children of James Irwin Stafford and his wife, Almina, Emma noted as being the widow of Dorn and the mother of one child, Iza B. Dorn's death in 1891, I am convinced, may partially explain the death date of 1892 as given in Emma's obituary, that date possibly being given by Iza Belle upon her mother's death in 1917. Iza would have been about six years old at the time of Dorn's death, could easily have confused the date in her head in 1917 at the time of Emma's death.

How did Emma and Iza Belle arrive at the Sweet name? I have no clue! My guess is that Emma simply moved from Genesee county to Saginaw county and started telling everyone she was a Sweet, her daughter was a Sweet, and everyone they came in contact with bought into it. Life was somewhat simpler in the "good old days." I jumped through hoops for several years trying to find a Harvey Sweet without success, finally coming to the conclusion that Iza Belle's marriage record showing a "Harvey" with no surname means that Harvey Rathbun, while not necessarily in attendance at the wedding, was given some portion of the "family" by having his name entered, albeit without the surname. John Stanley Wallace and Iza Belle Sweet, or whatever surname she should have had, married only a few months after John Stanley's father died in April of 1906, yet Alexander's name (no surname) is given on the register along with Clara, by then his widow. How Emma shows up as Emma Allison is yet another mystery!

My dad's sister, Marion Virginia Wallace, traveled from Saginaw about once every month to visit someone in Montrose when I was a kid. She may have mentioned someone's first name on several occasions, that name escaping me at this late date. Had I been more curious at that time, in the late 1940s and 1950s, the question should have been asked as to who it was Marion was going to visit. Looking back on it now, it's possible she was going to visit a Stafford during those years for all I know.

Emma Lucinda (?) Stafford turns out to be a most interesting subject. If this all happened in a novel, I'm sure someone would be suggesting a fantasy land story, not a real life happening. As you clearly know, Harvey Rathbun is the man who married Emma on 12-25-1884. A check of good ol' Harvey with the correct date and a 20-year time span will find all sorts of information on him.
Born 19 APR 1862, he married a Nellie Woolston during 1884 (no month given) in Saginaw, Michigan, later in that same year marrying Emma. Apparently within a very short period of time following the marriage to Emma, that marriage was set aside in some manner. One might well wonder how Nellie handled it.
Several years later, in 1890, Harvey marries a woman named Margaret Rathbun; said to have been born in 1864, she may have been a cousin if her surname is correct. Not to be overlooked in this most curious drama, Emma is also shown marrying a Charles Rathburn on the same day she married Harvey Rathbun. Where or how Charles comes into this picture I have no clue! The only record of him seems only to show up on Emma's marriage day. All of this comes from the LDS Internet site.

In 1889, Emma married George Dorn, that marriage terminated when George died in what may have been a construction accident January 19,1891. That 1892 book on the local history of Genesee, Lapeer and Tuscola counties gives some information that otherwise would have been lost forever, much as the loss of the 1890 census created a loss for families all across the nation. Emma is named as one of the children of James Irwin Stafford and his wife, Almina, Emma noted as being the widow of Dorn and the mother of one child, Iza B. Dorn's death in 1891, I am convinced, may partially explain the death date of 1892 as given in Emma's obituary, that date possibly being given by Iza Belle upon her mother's death in 1917.
