  Delphinia Catherine Lee was born at Quitman, Missouri April 17, 1845. On May 9, 1861, she married Benjamin W. Emerson, a volunteer soldier from the state of Missouri. On April 9, 1863, they left Missouri in her father's wagon train drawn by oxen and crossed the plains without any serious mishap, arriving at Hone [Honey?] Lake Vallep on September 5, 1863 where they wintered. [Honey Lake is south of Susanville at an elevation of about 4000 feet - an unlikely place to winter.)
  In the spring, her father moved on to the present location [Latham] which he purchased a year later, 1865, she and her husband coming as far as Jacksonville where they purchased a small home and lived until 1879. To this union twelve children were born, two of whom survive; L.C. Emerson of Cottage Grove and A.S. Emerson of Santa Ana, California. A foster son, also of Santa Ana, survives.
