November 25, 1952 - Mrs. Augusta Harter returned home Saturday from Luke;s Hospital in Marquette and is confined to her home. Mrs. Harter fell at her home November 12 and fractured her left leg six inches above the knee.".11,12
There is some confusion in the records concerning Emma. First, she is variously shown as Emma (or Emma A.), Augusta (or Augusta A.) or Amy Augusta. From the records we have sourced, it seems likely that Emma Augusta Ackley is correct. Secondly, different sources provide different birth dates. We currently show November 1879 based on The Descendants of Edward Ackley but this is likely incorrect. The correct birth date is probably March 29, 1879 in Millington from Tuscola County Birth Register.
