Note: Notes on Emma Gould Linage:
We are unsure of the linage of Emma. The marriage licence for Emma and Lenard Cross is amended to include a statement from Melvin and Sarah Lyke stating that they consent to the marriage of their adopted daughter Emma.
This may have been required because Emma is under 16, or it might be because William's (Lenard's father) second wife was Olive's and Sarah's sister.
Emma's death Cert. lists her mother and father as Sarah and Melvin Lyke.
The 1870 Census lists Mary living with Alfred and Olive Gould in New Haven Twp, Oronoco County.
The 1875 MN Census lists a 10 year old Emma Gould living with Melvin and Sarah Lyke.
In Kasson for 1900 Census with Frank Stevens _________________________________________________________ Note: Mary Emma Lyke was born Mary Gould. Emma as she was known to the Lyke's was adopted between 1875 and 1880. We believe that Emma's mother was Olive Stambridge. It is possible that her father was Alfred Gould. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dodge County Republican, Thursday Sept 27th , 1923
Mrs. Frank Stevens Mary Emma Lyke was born at Necedah, Juneau Co., Wis. April 21st 1865. At the age of 1 year she was brought by her parents to a farm three miles west of Pine Island, where she grew to womanhood.
In 1882 she was united in marriage to Leonard Cross. To this union six children were born. Ruby (Mrs. Ira Newell), of Hope, N. D. Melvin of Alexander, N. D.; Spearl, of Rochester, Harry of Minneapolis; Hazel, (Mrs. Leonard Smith), of Kasson. In 1896 she removed with her children to Kasson. In 1899 she was united in marriage to Mr. Frank Stevens. One child was born to them, Hiram Stevens. The last years of the life of Mrs. Stevens were marked with poor health and for a year preceding her death she was confined to her home. Bronchial pneumonia was the immediate cause of her death. She was a patient sufferer, enduring much the last three weeks, until released by death last Wednesday morning at seven o'clock. Mrs. Stevens is survived by her husband, six children, 21 grandchildren; also by her aged mother, Mrs. M. T. Lyke, two brothers, James Lyke of Kasson, and John Lyke of Kellogg; also one sister, Mrs. Gus Crail of Dodge Center and by a host of friends. The bereaved have the sympathy of many acquaintances and friends. The burial service was held from the home on Friday afternoon, at two o'clock, Rev C. F. Geiger officiating. Interment was in Maplewood cemetery.

Necedah, Juneau Co., WI ============================================= Necedah was the most heavily timbered town in Juneau County, It was covered with huge white and red pines that were the foundation of the Yellow River lumbering industry. It was also the "mother" town of northern Juneau County, from which all other towns were formed. Necedah was home of the Winnebago people, with whom the first settlers hoped to live peaceably. As early as 1852, hoping to prevent illicit traders from abusing the Indians, Necedah voters banned all liquor sales in the town. Some whiskey, traders, like George Salter, set up shop on neighboring towns. The legend of Petenwell Rock holds that an Indian man and Indian princess named Clinging Vine fell in love. Clinging Vine's father frowned on the match, so the two lovers ran off. Pursued by the Chief and a band of warriors, Clinging Vine and her lover climbed the tall rock on the banks of the Wisconsin river. Rather than be captured and separated, the lovers leaped from the rock, into the water, never to be seen again. In fact, the Rock is named after Peter Wells, an early settler who owned it. source: Juneau County, The First Hundred Years, published 1988 ???????????????????????????????????????????
