Her sister Nancy Jane Greer was eight years old and Sarah Margaret Greer was only six. We do not know where they are buried, possibly in Greenwood Cemetery because Jesse and Emeline's first child, Martha Jane, is buried there. There is a census of Jesse Morgan Greer and a Melvira Cagle living in the Creek Nation in 1900. The rest of the family is not listed. Melvira is listed as siter instead of sister-in-law.

Harvey Dustin Phillips was the second husband of Marigaret Emeline Cagle, Greer. Lucille Marie Webb, said that Harvey Dustin Phillips was not liked very much buy those who new him, so he didn't have a very nice nick name, "they called him "Missouri Puke". There son Leonard was also a very nice man.
