"After leaving school, my health failed again and I was an invalid for years and many times my friends came to take a last farewell of "poor Emma'. Most of the time however, I was able to entertain company in my room and all my gentleman visitors were also invited in. Among them was Mr. William Smith, now a widower, the second time. I soon understood that he was in search of a wife and this had a wonderful effect upon my health. As soon as I found I had a beau I got well and commenced preparations for my marriage which occurred in 1831 when I was thirty-five, quite mature enough to assume the care of his three little girls. Mr. Smith spent his summers in Virginia where we frequently had the pleasure of entertaining our relatives and friends from Georgia. After ten years we decided to change our summer retreat to Clarkesville, Habersham Co. There Mr. Smith's mother came to live with us and remained till her death."
