      Note: A photo of Emma appears on one of the first page of her book along with her note that reads, "Yours Sincerely Mrs. E. R. Drollinger" in her hand writing. On page two, Emma writes, "Fifteen years ago when this book was written for publication - but felt the world was not ready for its contents. Realizing its contents made too large a book for convenience, I decided to separate it into three or four volumes. This issue constitutes the first volumn - or one-half of our journey through the Ethereal Zones in which we must function. Volumn two will reveal the higher zones and their condition. Volumn three the laws of progression. Volumn four the secret of healing."

      Dave H. Drollinger found a reference to a book written by Emma Ruder Drollinger which was a mystery. I believe mystery is solved.
      The copyright on Emma's book was 1919 and was Los Angeles publisher.
      I still don't yet know who the child is that is referred to in the 1910 Census.
      Emma's sister, Amelia was a school teacher. Amelia's son, Hilbert Ruder Rost, is buried in San Marcos, CA.
      Schuyler died in LA.
      I believe Schuyler probably was divorced from his first wife, Minerva and then married Emma. (close, she died in 1902 GLD)

      The original email stated facts from the 1880 census which led to confusion on my part (DHD) that this was written on the photo of Emma. Such was not the case and the inscription is actually the one in quotes above.
