Read More	According to her daughter, Annie Waters Brandenburg, sometime after 1880, at the age of 20 or so, Emma Haller went to work as a servant in the household of her future mother-in-law, Anna Schlosser Waters. In something of a Cinderella story, five years later she was married to the youngest son of the house, John Calvin Waters. John chose well, in marrying Emma, because in another twist of fate, it was left to her to raise their eight children after he died suddenly at only 41 (see his memorial). She lived 41 more years without him, as a widow, and her strength and intelligence brought the family through those initially very hard times after his death. It was fortunate at least that two of Emma's sons were old enough to work soon after their father died, but she also supported the family in part by being a renowned baker in the Middletown area. All of her daughters were in fact wonderful bakers, and this would explain why. She continued on managing the home farm alone quite a few years, and sometime before 1930 moved to Prospect Street in Middletown with Norbet and Edna, still at home, where she lived with them until her death. Norbet and Edna remained in the Prospect Street house until their passing too, while youngest daughter Mary Ropp and her family became the next occupants of the home farm in Harmony, until Mary's death another 20 years later in the 1960s. OBITUARY: Mrs. Emma J. Waters, widow of J. Calvin Waters, died at her home on Prospect street, Middletown, Thursday morning at 2:30 o'clock after a lingering illness at the age of 82 years, three months and 22 days. A highly respected citizen, who was held in esteem by all who knew her, Mrs. Waters had been a faithful member of Zion Lutheran church, Middletown, for a number of years. She was born near Middletown, a daughter of the late John P. and Jane Wiles Haller Surviving are the following children: James A., Clearspring; J. Clarence, Middletown; Mrs. C. Elmer Cline, Harmony; Norbert (sic) E., at home; Mrs. Leslie C. Brandenburg, near Middletown; Edna G., at home; Mrs. George E. Wiles, near Middletown; Mrs. Frank Ropp, Harmony; 17 grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren.
