Life

Emma May Goodrich was born in 1846, a daughter of Elisha Bates Goodrich and Eliza Van Velsor.1 The FamilySearch tree, without a source, places her birth at Riverhead, Suffolk County, New York; the one record that speaks to the question, the return filed at her death in 1888, says only "New York" and gives her age as 42, which fits a birth in 1845 or 1846.2 Her father's household was in New York City when the federal census of 1840 was taken, and in 1850 the census listed Emma Goodrich in the household (the people living together at one address, as the census-taker recorded them) of Elisha B. Goodrich in the city's 13th Ward.3 Inference The family's documented connection with Riverhead is as a burial place, so the tree's Riverhead birthplace may rest on that later tie rather than on any record of her birth, and it should be treated as unconfirmed.4

By 1855 the Goodriches had crossed the East River to the 16th Ward of Brooklyn, Kings County, where the state census of that year and the federal census of 1860 found them, with Emma listed in the household in 1860.5 In 1857 her father opened a store at the corner of Stagg Street and Union Avenue, in Brooklyn's Eastern District, which traded for forty-two years as E. B. Goodrich & Son; her brother John Oscar Goodrich spent more than forty years in the grocery, hay and grain business.6 The New York state census of 1865 again placed the family in the 16th Ward; the index to that return gives the daughter's name as "Mercy Goodrich", and the tree identifies her as Emma.7 Inference No other record calls her Mercy, so the name is most likely a misreading of "Mary" or "Emma" by the enumerator or the indexer, but the original page has not been examined.7

On 10 August 1868 Emma May Goodrich married William H. Wade.8 The record stands in the New York City marriage series and names her parents; the tree places the wedding in Brooklyn.9 William Henry Wade, born in April 1848, was a son of James M. Wade and Eliza Ann Marvin, and in October 1867 he was living with his father on South Sixth Street in the Eastern District.10 Both families had been counted in the Eastern District in 1865, the Goodriches in the 16th Ward and the Wades in the 13th.11 Inference Their presence in the same part of Brooklyn through the 1860s is the likeliest setting for the couple's acquaintance, though no record says how they met.11 He became a carpenter and builder: in July 1876 a Brooklyn newspaper named "Mr. William H. Wade" as architect and builder of his brother Dr. John E. Wade's new house on Kossuth Place, and his son Harry's obituary in 1920 called him "a builder of Brooklyn".12

Their first child, William Henry Wade Jr., was born on 30 June 1869 at Yonkers, Westchester County, New York, a birthplace his own marriage certificate of 1893 confirms.13 In 1870 the federal census listed William and Emma Wade in Brooklyn with the infant William.14 A second son, Harry Elisha Wade, was born in 1872.15 The tree gives his birthplace as Brooklyn without a source, while his obituary of 1920 says he was born at Elizabeth, New Jersey; neither statement is backed by a birth record, and where the family was living in 1872 remains open.16 The census of 1880 listed William Wade's household in Brooklyn with Emma, William and Harry, and on 5 July 1880 a daughter, Nella Augusta Wade, was born in Brooklyn, her birth record naming the mother as "Mary Emma Goodrich".17 The tree also records a daughter known only as "Girl Wade", who died, with no date, place or source attached.18

Emma Wade died on 6 March 1888 at Clinton Street, Morristown, Morris County, New Jersey, aged 42.19 The fact is recorded in a New Jersey return of death, the form on which a death was reported to the state's Bureau of Vital Statistics; on this one J. H. Hoffman, M.D., of Morristown, certified that he had attended her through an illness of five days and that the cause was hydropericardium, an accumulation of fluid in the sac around the heart.19 The return names her "Mary Emma Wade", married, born in New York, her last place of residence Brooklyn, and states that she had been in New Jersey only three weeks.19 It gives her parents as "Elijah" Goodrich, born in New Jersey, and Eliza "Van Velzer", born on Long Island; "Elijah" is an error for Elisha, and the rest agrees with her parents as the tree has them.20 Her husband is not named on the return.19 She was buried at Morristown.19 The return does not say what took her from Brooklyn to Morristown, and no other record found so far explains it.21 Inference A stay of three weeks ending in a fatal illness suggests a visit rather than a removal of the household, but the records are silent on its purpose.19 No death notice has been found: searches of the Chronicling America newspaper collection for New York and New Jersey in 1888, under "Emma Goodrich" and "Emma Wade", returned nothing, and the collection has almost no Morris County or Brooklyn titles for that year.22 William H. Wade survived her by twenty years and died suddenly at Ocean Grove, New Jersey, in July 1908.23

The records call her by several names, and a searcher may meet any of them.24 The federal censuses of 1850, 1860, 1870 and 1880 and her son William's death record of 1945 call her simply Emma, and her marriage record of 1868 gives Emma May.25 Later records, most of them made for her children, more often reverse the order: Nella's birth record of 1880, the 1888 return of death and Harry's death record of 1920 have "Mary Emma", and the marriage records of Harry in 1900 and Nella in 1903, and Nella's later Social Security file, shorten it to "Mary E." in the same order.26 On the marriage certificate of William H. Wade Jr. in 1893 the groom's mother's maiden name is written "May Emma Goodrich", although the FamilySearch index of the same record reads "Mary Emma"; the image is to be preferred over the index.27 The tree names her Emma May Goodrich and lists Mary Emma as an alternative.24 Inference The pattern suggests that she was Emma May in her youth and at her marriage and that her children knew her as Mary Emma, though whether this was a deliberate change or only household habit is not recorded.28

Open questions

  • Death notice, March 1888. Not found in Chronicling America under "Emma Goodrich" or "Emma Wade" (New York and New Jersey, 1888). Look in the Morristown papers (The Jerseyman, Morris County Chronicle / True Democrat; Morristown and Morris Township Library) and the Brooklyn Eagle; the New Jersey death return of 6 March 1888 names her "Mary Emma Wade", so search both name forms.
  • Why Morristown? The family was in Brooklyn and Yonkers; what took William H. and Emma to Morristown by 1888 (work, a sanatorium, relatives) is unknown.
  • The pilot's search plan stopped at --max 6 before the married-name forms ("Mrs William Wade", "Mrs W H Wade"); "Emma Wade" was run by hand on 2026-11-08 with no result.

Why was she at Morristown? A Struble lead (found 2026-11-09, biography drafting)

Her 1888 return of death names the Morristown undertaker as "[Stribble?] & [?]". A New Jersey marriage of John Asa Struble in 1862, attached to her mother Eliza Van Velsor (source 3ZD3-YPH, and 3ZD3-YLV on her father), names an "Eliza" and an "H. Goodrich". If a Goodrich daughter or relative married a Struble of Morristown, that would explain the visit. Unproven: open the 1862 record image and look for Strubles in Morristown in 1880.
