Notes
a. Note:   [Bracey.paf]
  Emma Elizabeth Parker was the eldest child of Minnie and Jessie. She was raised in Jackson, North Carolina. She gave her life to God at the age of thirteen at Antioch Holiness Church in Jackson, North Carolina.
 She married Dorphus Gary on March 3, 1915. They had fifteen children.
 They lived in Jackson until they moved to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where they lived until they moved back to Jackson. They moved to Boston, Massachusetts in 1936.
 She returned to Jackson with her younger children at 1948 when her mother Minnie died in Jackson. Dorphus stayed in Boston to continue to be the breadwinner. He visited on Holidays and some weekend to check on the family and bring gifts and money.
 Her husband returned to Jackson in 1966 to celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. He died in 1967. Emma continued to live on the farm until the late 1970 to early 1980's.
 She moved to Detroit, Michigan with her daughter, Clementine Williams. She lived in Detroit and continue to teach her children and grandchildren the important of family. She did nothing with prayer to God for direction. If she saw mistakes in her children or grandchildren, she would take it to God in prayer.
 She died on October 3, 1984 in Detroit. She was buried in Woodlawn Cemetery in Detroit on October 8, 1984. She was 87 years old.
 I was told that before my great grandmother died, she wanted to see me but I didn't get a chance. She had a message to give me but I never got it. I always feel her presence around me. The picture of her laminates the true spirit of a loving woman of God. She is the matriarch that we need today. She was the background of our family. The stories of her life continue to live on but the one thing she said was that "your family is the key to the purpose of your life and your life is with God". I truly miss her and so does the hundred of descendants that came from her genes. This day and everyday should be dedicated to this remarkable woman of God.
