Read More	Emma came to Dakota Territory as a child. Her family's first Dakota home was a sod house built in the great wide-open near the meandering Wild Rice River in Belford Township, Richland County. There were no towns at this time. She met her future husband as he walked past her family's place enroute from his employer, the Keystone bonanza farm, to land further west he was investigating for a homestead claim. For a courting gift, he gave Emma a beaver skin hand muff. They likely conversed in German and English. Emma married Richard W. Gully on October 24, 1892 at Wahpeton. Emma was a sturdy, strong, capable wife and mother. She birthed nine children. She was a skilled communicator, a farm manager and an organized worker who could be particular, adamant and difficult. She could also be loving and sincere. As an accomplished artist and seamstress, her crocheting, knitting, stitching, designing and sewing of beautiful garments and decorative pieces were well known. She kept her children and later her grandchildren in homemade clothes and sold items when available. She was a much loved grandmother. She had unusual cat-like, blue green eyes, dark brown naturally wavy hair that appeared almost black in her youth, stood level with her husband at 5'5" and in later years out weighed him. She kept a surprisingly white, untanned skin tone all-year-round whether inside or outside. Her Neisinger family and all of her husband's large Gully relation usually greeted each other by kissing. Emma outlived Richard by thirty years living until age 85, allowing her time to meet all of her grandchildren and a few of her great grandchildren. She is buried next to Richard and their youngest child Roger Gully who died unexpectedly at age twenty-five from spinal meningitis acquired at a CCC camp in MT. Emma witnessed the burials of five of her nine children. Her parents, Jacob and Gertrude Neisinger, are buried in Stine Cemetery located one mile north from her grave at the Catholic Cemetery. She was their only child who remained in North Dakota. written by Gregory Dorr
