 THE STORY AS I KNOW IT.

Emilie Yates Walsh was born Aug 22, 1879 in Baltimore. Her father was Thomas Yates Walsh and her mother Nannie Augusta Croyeau.

Emilie met Harry Ludwig Maier at a German dance held in Baltimore. He was from Wilmington Delaware.

Harry wrote a letter to Thomas Y. Walsh asking permission to marry Emilie. Thomas Walsh was surveying across the southwest for the railroads. I have his wonderful letter in reply. It is on stationary marked "Panhandle and Gulf Railroad Company", in an envelope embossed with "The Kansas City, Mexico & Orient Railway Co. " It was mailed from Saffordville Kansas. In the letter he said "Yatesie is such a jolly chum and good indian…"

Emilie and Harry were married on October 12, 1904 at St. Luke's Episcopal church in Baltimore Maryland. St. Luke’s is on Carey Street just one block east of 8 N. Calhoun where the Walsh family lived from at least 1890 to 1934.

Harry and Emilie had three children:
1. Harry Ludwig Maier Jr. born Aug 7, 1905. He wed Catherine Ann Pennock.
2. Annette Yates Maier born March 28, 1908.
3. Emilie Wilhelmina Maier born March 16, 1913.

 She died in Wilmington on Oct. 29, 1963 and is buried in Greenlawn cemetery.
