 Emmaline Kittle
  About Emmaline's name -- This name could have been spelled any number of ways.  There is no way to know which it actually was.  Variations in the historical documents are Emaline, Emmeline, Emeline, Ermeline, etc.   I went with the spelling Emmaline because this is what Spring Hill Cemetery records have as her name.  Logic being, there was probably a grave marker at some point and this was the name they put on it.......the name, her husband, would have told them to use.

  Mar 1876 - Nov 1876 - Family moves to Huntington, WV based on the birth dates for daughters Henrietta and Emmisetta.  Birth records (see below) show Henrietta born Mar 25, 1876 under the name Emma Wright in Boyd Co., KY and Emmisetta born Nov 21, 1876 in Cabell Co., WV.  There is only an eight month difference between the girls which means, Emmisetta was born pre-maturely.  She probably died young, which is why she does not appear with the family in the 1880 Census.

  1915 - New York Census - Henrietta is shown living again with William Beadle.  It is unknown if she remarried Beadle or just got back with him.  On the other hand, in 1915 there is a Land Assessment in New York records, Fred C Crombach, "New York, Land Records, 1630-1975"  , that clearly shows May living with Fred C Crombach. But in 1914, Fred C Crombach is shown living by himself.  So I believe at some point in 1915, May married Fred.

  1921 - 1930 - City Directory, Rochester, NY - Living a 23 Ringle Place
  In the 1930 Census, Fred and Henrietta May, do not appear.  They do however appear in the Rochester, Monroe Co., NY City Directories at the same address, 23 Ringle Place from 1921 to at least 1932.  I cross referenced their given home address in the directory with the street index to get neighbors' names.  I then placed those neighbors' names in the 1930 Census, to see if that address would appear.  The address of 23 Ringle Place was skipped in the 1930 Census.  Meaning there was no one probably home at the time and the census taker never went back to the house.
  1930 - 1932 - City Directory, Rochester, NY - 23 Ringle Place ( a house )
  1940 - Fred worked at West Side Weekly at Thrift Printing Co.,  Lived at 488 Main W ( a business with apartments upstairs )

Obituary for Sarah E Geisinger
https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/legacyremembers/sarah-geisinger-obituary?id=13911121
Accessed September 30, 2026
On Christmas Eve, Heaven gained another angel. Sarah E. Geisinger, 27, of Larksville, passed away due to complications with diabetes.

Born July 23, 1990, to Glen Robert Geisinger of Sweet Valley and Kimberly Ann Bower Geisinger of Larksville. Sarah was a graduate of Wyoming Valley West High School, Class of 2008, and she obtained her LPN license after graduating from Wilkes-Barre Vocational Technical School. She worked at Joan Bower's Family Daycare and at Keystone Garden Estates as an LPN.
There was no greater love in her life than her 6-year-old son, Nicholas Rokitko. He was Sarah's little prince and together they loved their snuggling time. She was a wonderful and dedicated mother.

She also loved going to the ocean, gardening and spreading love to her family and friends.

Sarah was preceded in death by her maternal grandfather, William Bower; and her aunt, Tracy Phillips.

In addition to Nicholas (father, John Ritkitko), Sarah is survived by her loving parents, Glen Geisinger (Robin) and Kimberly Bower Geisinger (Andrew Fluck); brothers, Glen Jr. (Daisy), Noxen; Joshua Geisinger Evanitus, Larksville; and Jeremy Geisinger, Sweet Valley; maternal grandmother and best friend, Joan Bower, Larksville; paternal grandparents, Robert and Faye Geisinger, Plymouth; aunts, uncles and cousins.

The funeral will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday from S.J. Grontkowski Funeral Home, 530 W. Main St., Plymouth. Family and friends may call Friday from 5 to 8 p.m.

In lieu of flowers, contributions, if desired, may be made to Sarah's son, Nicholas Rokitko, care of his grandma, Kimberly Bower Geisinger.

Obituary for Tracy Marie Bower Phillips
https://www.citizensvoice.com/obituaries/tracy-marie-bower-phillips-larksville-pa/
Accessed September 29, 2026
Tracy Marie Bower Phillips, 36, passed away Sunday, May 31, 2015.

She was the daughter of Joan Boney Bower, Larksville, and the late William F. Bower. Tracy was born in Kingston and was a graduate of Wyoming Valley West High School and the Wilkes-Barre Area Nursing Program.
Tracy also worked as a foster care provider and daycare provider.

Tracy married the love of her life, Eric Phillips, and resided in Larksville with her loving daughters, Alli, Karli and Erica Phillips. Also, at home, a pack of Chihuahuas which she loved and took care of. Tracy truly enjoyed a beautiful home, close family and friends.

Tracy was a member of All Saints Parish, Plymouth. However, Tracy and Eric had formed a special bond with the Rev. Don Williams.

Tracy was the youngest of six and the princess and sunshine of the family, especially her parents and husband. She was the sunshine in so many lives. Tracy enjoyed gardening with her mother and husband and learned much from her mother-in-law and friend, Dorothy Phillips. She loved her daughters as she loved her fresh flowers. She enjoyed refinishing old rustic furniture with her mother and laughing and joking with her sisters, niece Sarah and cousin Jessica.

She loved so many with all her heart had to give. Her smile will be etched in our hearts forever.

Tracy was preceded in death by her loving father, William Francis Bower; infant sister, Laurie Bower; paternal grandparents, Dorothy and William Bower; maternal grandparents, Gerald and Mary Finnegan Boney; and brothers-in-law, Michael and Patrick Phillips.

Surviving, in addition to her mother, husband and daughters, are brothers, William F. Bower Jr. and his wife, Cindy, Mathews, Va.; and Richard D. Bower, Larksville; sisters, Deborah Shultz and her husband, LeRoy, Larksville; and Kimberly Geisinger and her husband, Andrew Fluke, Larksville; and nieces and nephews, Glen Geisinger, Joshua Geisinger Evanitus, Sarah Geisinger and son, Nicholas Rokitko, Richard and wife, Laura, Jillian and Joseph Bower, Ashley and son, Michael Harbick, William, Rebekah, Madeline and Mitchell Bower.

Also surviving are her mother-in-law, Dorothy Phillips, James Phillips and wife, Deborah, and Rocky Phillips, all formerly Luzerne residents.

Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Friday from Andrew Strish Funeral Home, 11 Wilson St., Larksville. Interment at a later date will be in St. Vincent’s Cemetery, Larksville. Family and friends may call from 5 to 8 p.m. Thursday and from 10 to 11 a.m. Friday.

  Name could have also been Eniasetta.....if you stare at the record long enough...
   
  Son Wright - b. Mar 1880, WV from 1880 Census
 
Son Wright
  Last child listed on the 1880 Census for this family. 

By the 1900 Census, this child would be an adult and might not appear on the 1900 Census with the family, if he lived.

The fact that he does not have a name after 2 months, hints at maybe there might be something wrong with the child.

I searched through the birth and death records in Cabell Co., WV for a Wright child who was born and died for this family between 1880 - 1900, with no luck.

Buried together at Spring Hill Cemetery, Huntington Cabell Co., WV, Plots 12-89-6 and 12-89-7

  Buddy Wright - d. Jun 17 or 19, 1889, Buried at Spring Hill Cemetery, Huntington, Cabell Co., WV. Same plot as parents. 5-22-3
 
Buddy Wright
  The name Buddy Wright is from the Find A Grave website. This information is based on cemetery records.  There are no markers except for a small flat marker that says Lee Wright.  Which was either, another unknown family member, or a PLOT marker showing that this is the Lee / Wright plot.  Information posted on the FAG website gives Buddy plot number as 5-22-3.    Parents are in graves 4 and 5.

In a death record on the WV Culture website, there is a Wright that died Jun 17, 1889 in Cabell Co., WV.  However, this document is so faded that very little information can be extracted from it.  I even did a gamma boost in my graphics program to see if any other info might appear.  Nope.  But if you stare long enough you can kind-of see the date. 
 

Death Record for Wright died Jun 17, 1889  ( #23 )

  Based on this record's death date, June 17 , and the burial records for Spring Hill, June 19.  This is probably Buddy Wright.  Also, there is a possibility that the death date was June 19, and we just can't read it.

It would be helpful to know the age of the decedent.

Who Buddy Wright was, is also unknown.  Was he a baby that died young?  Was Buddy just a nickname?  Or an actual name. 

OR  Was Buddy the child born Mar 1880, that appears in 1880 Census.
