Emma Blevins Long

 This is Emma Blevins Long and her daughter Stella.  Emma was born in  November 1871 in Arkansas, her father, Isham Martin Blevins, was 30, and her mother, Catherine Matlock Blevins, was 25. She married James Albert Long in 1893. They had six children in 13 years. She died in 1942 at the age of 71, and was buried in Collinsville, Texas.

The photo was probably sent back to her sister Elizabeth Blevins Cody from Texas.  Today we might send a photo standing by our car back home to family.  Emma sent a picture of her cow, a family prized possession!
