"My parents Arthur and Mable Nelson have been neighbors of the Snides
for years. We could count on their help if needed. In fact my first job
was working for Kenneth cultivating corn. Emily fixed a lunch and brought
us something in the field. I am so sorry for your loss. A neighbor
John A. Nelson"

"Emily was just the kindest person. My family will always cherish the time we spent with her as volunteers at Fort Atkinson State Park. Emily was a real throw back to what the pioneer's must have been like."
