| Shared note | "The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 98, No 24, p 766, June 15, 1925. Mrs. Emma T. Platts was the daughter of Jesse and Dency Bliven Tefft. She was born in the town of Almond, N. Y., May 23, 1841, and died May 7, 1925, at the home of her son, Dr. L. Arthur Platts, in Park Ridge, near Chicago, Ill., being almost eighty-four years of age. As a young woman she attended Alfred Academy at Alfred Center, N. Y., and fitted herself as a teacher in the district schools of those days. When about twenty years old she came to Wisconsin and taught near Utica, Dane County, where an uncle of hers was living. She then attended school at Milton, and on July 5, 1864, at the close of the commencement exercises of Milton Academy, of which they were both graduates that day, she was married to Lewis Alexander Platts, by Rev. Wm. C. Whitford. There were three sons born to them: William Whitford Platts, who died in Los Angeles, Calif., in October, 1911; Rev. Jesse Allison Platts, who died in Pittsburgh, Pa., in May of the following year, 1912; and Dr. Lewis Arthur Platts of Park Ridge and Chicago, Ill. Mrs. Platts has lived with her husband at Alfred, N. Y., Nile, N. Y., New Market, N. J., Westerly, R. I., Los Angeles, Calif., and Milton Junction and Milton, Wis., and has been a member of the Seventh Day Baptist churches in these several localities while living in them. She made a public profession of religion while she was a student at Milton, during a series of evangelistic meetings conducted by Rev. O. P. Hull. She was the youngest of eight children, four sons and four daughters, and was the last of all to go. Farewell services were held on Sabbath day, May 9, 1925, in the Milton Seventh Day Baptist church, conducted by her pastor Rev. James L. Skaggs, assisted by Rev. Erlo E. Sutton and Rev. Edwin Shaw, and the burial was made in the family lot in the Milton cemetery. J. L. S. |
