Notes:	Emaline "Emma" E. Feaster (b. 1855) was mentioned in the photo album of her half-sister, Maria Louisa "Lula" Georgiana Feaster. On a photo labeled "Farmer", a descendant of Lula Feaster had written this marginal note: 'Aunt Emmie Feaster who was a dau of Nathan Andrew Feaster by second wife Emma Brown, this man is some of her people.' Another clue about the life of Emma Feaster was provided in Ederington's History of Edgefield Co, SC, regarding Nathan Andrew Feaster of Fairfield Co., South Carolina: "His second wife was a Miss Brown, of Anderson County, a sister of Col. Newton Brown, by whom he had one daughter, who is now the wife of a Mr. Tribble, of the town of Anderson". Emma Feaster's mother died shortly after Emma was born in 1855, and the mother was buried in the old Townville Baptist Church cemetery in Anderson Co. Emma Feaster was apparently enumerated twice in the 1860 US census, first in June at the home of her grandparents, Samuel and Helena Brown in Townville, Anderson Co.; and then in September at Oil Camp, Greenville Co., in the foothills of northern South Carolina with her father, his third wife Annette (nee McClanahan) with their son Samuel Feaster, and a half-sister, Lula Feaster, the only child of Mr. Feaster's first marriage (and the owner of the photo album). By 1870 after the Civil War, Emma Feaster was orphaned and living with her uncle's family in Centerville, Anderson Co., South Carolina. Lula's photo album contains a photo of another girl who also was housed there, Maria Ledbetter, whose father D.A. Ledbetter was killed during the war. Unfortunately, there is no photo of Emma Feaster in the album. Emma E. Feaster's uncle, Colonel Joseph Newton Brown, had distinguished service during the Civil War and a respected legal practice thereafter (see biography at www.rootsweb.com in subdirectory scbiog/NBrown.html). He practiced law from 1880 to 1888 with William S. Brown and J. L. Tribble, who married Emma E. Feaster in 1878. There is a photo of Col. Brown's younger brother, Milton Brown, in the Lula Feaster album.
