A problem with the report of death of Emma Sevedge Gudgel

The death report below of the death of Emma Sarah Sevedge Gudgel has a minor problem.  The report from my aunt Edna Gudgel Townsend says that Emma was a house wife for 42 years.  As Emma was 85 when she died means that she was married when she was 42 which is obviously incorrect.  My dad,  her first son, was born in 1893 I think.  My thinking is that obituaries and things from memory can not be always trusted for accuracy. 


Soon some important information from Vivian Gudgel about Emma's ancestors.  I hope she might post it but if not I will do it when I get the time. 


What it is clears up a long standing mystery about our ancestors on Emma's side of the family.  Later.
