Notes
- 1880 Federal Census, Murray County, Georgia, 4 June, Division 153, District 153, page 11, Hse #95, Fam #97
Hill, Marcus G W M 44 Head Farmer GA SC SC [b abt 1836]
Hill, Madora E W F 37 Wife Keeping House AL SC KY [b abt 1843]
Hill, Emma R W F 5 Dau GA GA GA AL [b abt 1875]
I have not found Emma and her childern in the 1910 census, the first census after she was widowed, in 1909.
In 1920 Emma is a widow, with her childen as the second famliy in the household of a family named Carloski. She is reported as a boarding house keeper, which sounds like this is her house, though the Carloski widow is listed first (Hse #68, Family #88) with her children, followed by boarders. Lillie Carloski is also reported is a boarding house keeper, so they must be partners. I see, however, that Lillie is reported as owner of her residence, while Emma is reported as renting. Perhaps Emma is an employee.

Terry, Emma Head Rents M W 48 Widowed GA GA GA Boarding House Keeper
Terry, Erskine Son M W 20 Single GA GA GA Printist (Printer?/Apprentice?), L & N Shops
Terry, Lois Dau M W 18 Single GA GA GA
Several people on this page work for L & N Shops, as machinists or other jobs; I do not know what business this is. Compare Emma's age here with her reported age and birthdate in 1900: Nov 1874, 25. By 1930, Emma is reported as the Owner and head of household of the Boarding House. No children remain at home with her. Note that states of birth of both her father and mother are different here. Her age here matching a birt date in 1874-5.
