<p>Emma had a lazy eye. She had gotten one in 1930 or 1932 when she and her husband and son were at their Church's family picnic. The kids were playing a game where you were supposed to hit a hoop with a stick to the finish line. Somehow or another, someone's stick hit Emma in the eye. </p><p>The eye was attempted to be saved, but was unsuccessful. To our knowledge, the eye was eventually removed. </p>
