Notes:

I was told that she was orphaned in Austria, and her (wealthy) uncle from (Argentina?) sent her passage from Austria to NYC. He went to NYC to meet her, but her boat ran aground, and was days or even weeks late. Due to urgent business matters, when he was unable to wait for her any longer, he returned home, leaving her fare to travel to South America with some relatives (names unknown). Here is where the story gets even sadder - supposedly when she arrived, the relatives told her he'd decided he didn't want her, keeping her and the money, in turn writing the uncle, telling him that she wanted to stay in NY. When Uncle Abe investigated the matter for Emma many years later, he learned that her uncle died many years earlier, and his estate reverted to the state as no heirs came forward. The story continues that when dying, the cousin who did this told the truth to Emma, asking her forgiveness. And Emma refused, upset that she had been separated from her uncle who loved and wanted her.
