Mary Emma Before Her Funeral on July 16, 1865

Carte de visite by T.C. Lawrence of Charleston, Ill. With a crown and bouquet of flowers, John and Ruth Dworshak prepared to bury their infant daughter, Mary Emma, on a summer's day soon after the conclusion of the Civil War.

On July 16, 1865, a day after the date on this note, her parents laid Mary Emma to rest in Mound Cemetery in Charleston, Ill. Her name is not listed in cemetery records on Find A Grave.

John, who immigrated from Bohemia, and Ruth left Illinois at some point before 1870 and moved to New York, where John went to work in a paper factory in Niagara Falls. They had two more children, Ermine and John F.
