The FindAGrave
entry for Emma Requa has no biographical information, not even the month and day for her birth and death dates. We can only say that she lived 104 years, and
maybe 105 years. An extensive web search turned up no other information.
The year that Emma was born, 1862, the United States was in the second year of its terrible Civil War; and the Gattling Gun was invented. Some beautiful "folky-type" songs came out of that era.
The year that Emma died, 1967, Israel defeated some of its powerful enemies in an incredible Six Day War; and Dr. Christiaan N Barnard, in South Africa, performed the first successful heart transplant.
As usual, I have included contextual photos to help locate the headstone, in case there is difficulty with the GPSr satellite reception.
