[or-roots] Emma Langworthy

[Penny/Leigh]

Thanks Sue,  I have been through all the asylum research.  I have talked to them on the phone and they are the ones who directed me to the funeral home.  If she died at the asylum there is no record and if her cremains exist they are among the ones with no label.  

It was finding the divorce listed in the paper that made me think she might have been released from the hospital after Andrew left the area and she may have remarried or moved away.  I have checked the census under both her married and her maiden (Kellogg) names.

If Andrew filed for the divorce, that may indicate she was still committed to the asylum.

Have you checked to see if she possibly died at the asylum?  They
    had a lot of unclaimed cremains at the new hospital in Salem.

My problem is that I haven't been able to find Emma's death or her grave.  I just can't believe that her divorce was granted and she died right away.  I have sent for divorce papers, have searched through all the cemeteries in the area, even contacted funeral homes trying to figure out what happened to Emma.  Emma was born in 1854 so she could have lived many more years and could have been released and remarried.  I am simply at a loss as to where to search next.  I would appreciate any help.
