Susan Emma Dennis
Description
“Aunt Emma”, the younger, unwed sister of Rebecca Wylie, lived with the family at the Wylie House from 1872 to 1876, at which time both Maggie and Louisa were occasionally staying at the home with their children. Her letters and diaries during this time noted many of her domestic and extended-motherly duties.
On August 18, 1873, she wrote:
“So I acted as mother to the two little ones until last Wednesday when your Father and Brown took them home, to my regret, for two better children than baby and Charley one does not often meet.”
