    '[Moss], Robt T. (Emma) r4810 Illinois av" 
    Residence 1950 
    In 1950, Emma's husband Robert is listed in the Nashville city directory without Emma. Other listings in the directory do reflect the wife's name, and Robert's listings did in earlier years. It appears that Emma left Robert at some point and may or may not have divorced him. Robert's death certificate states that he is divorced, but then lists Emma as his wife, leaving his marital status at death in question. Emma's obituary states that "Robert T. Moss and daughter, Hester, preceded her in death." 
    Parents 13 May 1963  [2] 
    Emma's delayed birth certificate named her parents as "Alonzo Denson Walker" and "Martha Daley Vineyard."
