Emeline Elizabeth Getty. I have very little information about William's and Leticia's first born, except that she was probably born in Indiana in 1858 or 1859. Where she lived after her mother died is not known. Presumably, after William and Addie were married, she made her home with them, as she was listed on the 1870 U.S. Census, Helena Township, Antrim County.

It seems strange that in all the memorabilia I have from the William Getty household, there is no mention of Emeline. On one of the affidavits in William's pension record; he lists the names of all his living children. Her name is not on that list. Of the several different newspaper accounts of William's death in 1902, she is only mentioned in one of them, as a daughter living at Central Lake.

August 17, 1874, her uncle, Charles Getty, of Central Lake, sold 20 acres in Milan Township, Monroe County, to his father, James Getty. Emeline witnessed the signing of the deed. Her name was written Emmie E. Getty.

On September 4, 1875, when she was 17, she and John Hanley, age 26, of New York City, were married in Antrim County, Michigan, by John Acker, Justice of the Peace. Witnesses were Michael and Adelaide Underwood of Central Lake.
