In 1925 Henry County there's an Emma Anderson 66, daughter of Alonzo Reed and Cynthia Brown born in New York, so perhaps the Emma that married George Chrissinger is a different one.

In 1930 Henry County, this Emma Anderson is 71, widowed, born in Iowa, both parents born in New York.
She's lodging with Carl Wind 30 and his wife Grace 31, both born in IOwa.
