Notes - When Emily was single, she worked for a millinery business where she made hats, possibly some place near Moncton or Nova Scotia. Later on she met Willie Jacques on Prince Edward Island where he worked with M.J. McIver as a potato farmer. They were married on Prince Edward Island and raised their children in Van Buren, Maine. She was busy raising her nine children and sewed a lot of their clothes herself. She also liked to knit and embroider.
She belonged to The Daughters of Isabella, a social group in Van Buren where she met and played bridge and enjoyed herself with other women.
The family moved to Hartford in 1947 where they lived till she died in 1963. She was very much loved by her children and all her grandchildren, who visited often.
