Submitter's note: 
On Emily's birth and death dates: 
I recently received Emily Jordan Staples Pryor Kinney death certificate. 
Her birth date is listed May 26, 1825, we had this as 1822. 
Actually I really think is was 1822 because so many passed 
references to this date have established that same year.  
But the death date is undisputable and must be Dec 31, l916 
she was for a fact buried in Montecello.
We have on the marker 1918.  
Emily's 2nd husband: William Pryor 
(buried in the Pryor family grave in the Hilltop 
Pioneer Cemetery)
Emily's 3rd husband: Wilson Kinney 
(We believe he is buried in Little Falls cemetery)
Last Memorial Day our family had placed a marker on 
the graves for George Lincoln Staples, Emily Jorday Staples, 
Mary Staples Tubbs, and Union Staples. The original markers 
had been destroyed by vandals. 
George Lincoln Staples was the brother to Isaac Staples of
Stillwater, and had been the head of all the logging operations 
for the Staples mills.  He also was the father of King George
Staples for whom the town of Staples, MN was named. George also 
was father to Isaac Staples who had been mayor of Little Falls
as well 23 years holding office in Oregon State Legislature 
as senator. His son in Oregon represented Minnesota in Oregon 
centennial and had been Pres of Mnn of Oregon.
