This is a lot of information to wade through. It is possible that there were no children
born to John and Emma. It seems to be a strange situation about his information in the
1910 census and listed in his WW I draft registration.

This shows that Emma's husband was born Aug 20; however, the information shows that by
1910, John was back living with his parents and listed as single. Could the marriage have
been annulled? I find no trace of Emma in 1910. It could be that she died. Do you know
anything about that?
