This web site
previously had the name of Muriel Emma Dismuke. I do not know where
the first name Muriel originated from. All of the print documentation
(church, census, marriage license, city directories, death certificates) I
have found for Emma, only gives the first name of Emma.
On the Dismukes side of the family, researchers list Emma's full name as
Emaline America Dismukes.
About the last name of Dismuke or Dismukes. The use of the "s" at the
end of the name can be considered correct. The omission of the "s"
could also be considered correct.
If you are doing research, use both variations of the name in your search.
Documents found, may use both variations of the name within the same branch
of the family. Even in cemeteries, the same family will use both
spellings. Instead of fighting over which spelling is correct, just
accept that both spellings are correct unless you have original source
documentation that can track the specific usage of either spelling over a
period of time.
The name Emaline, Emeline, and Emiline - Another name with variations in the
spelling. Members of this family called each other Emma for short, so
the full name in documents is rarely found. One of the only documented
sources of the spelling of this name, for this branch of the family, is the
grave marker for Emiline's mother, Emiline Hause Dismuke wife of Thomas
Jefferson Dismuke. The name on her marker is Emiline Dismuke.
Therefore, unless someone can prove otherwise, with original source
documentation, Emiline will be spelled with an "i" as the third letter in
the name.
On all of the records below, just Emma Epperson was found on the records and
is used below. |

- Between 1900 and 1910 child Jimlie (Child
shown as Jam L in 1900 census) dies at age 14 which would have been ca
1904 or 1905. This child was buried at the Ramah Church Cemetery
in Barbour Co., AL with a birth date shown as December, 2, 1890.
With the birth years constantly being varied with this family, it is a
strong assumption that the Jam L shown in the 1900 census and the Jimlie
buried at the Ramah Church Cemetery, are the same child. The 1900
Census is the only time Jam L Epperson appears.
- By the 1910 Census Jesse and Emma have two more children that were
born between 1900 and 1910. One child was Richard Pat Epperson.
The other child is unknown and must have died before 1910. In the
1910 Census, it is reported that there had been 7 children of which only
5 were living. The five children living in 1910 are Henry Jake,
Leola, William R, Rueben/Robert Thornton, and Richard Pat.
|
- Between 1906 - 1907 Jesse and Emma move to
Montgomery County, Alabama. They do not appear in the Montgomery
City Directory until 1907 |

- In 1930 the Akron City Directory shows
Glenn W Hall and Leola living at 496 Mohawk, but when you look at the
1930 Census for 496 Mohawk, there is a Goudy family living there.
So it cam be assumed that Leola and her husband Glenn W Hall moved away
from Akron shortly before 1930. They do not show up again in the
Akron City Directories. |
