The child of "Irish Freestate" immigrants, Emily Etta Ginn, was born in Albany, New York, in 1863 in the midst of the U.S. Civil War. Her father, Charles Ginn (1825 - 1896), was a laborer, and her mother was Sidney Bell Ginn (March 1822 - 14 June, 1916). The couple's heavy accent confused the 1870 census taker who listed young Emily as "Hemly." The family lived at 7 Westerlo Street. Emily attended Albany School, from which she graduated in 1880. Her affection for her old school leaves us a record of her attending a student body reunion and banquet on November 16, 1893.
Emily's two elder sisters, Frances (Fanny) and Sarah, worked in a printing office during the 1880s. She also had a sister named Mary who either died or married young. At some point in the 1890s, the family relocated to 16 Ten Broeck Place. By 1910, Emily's father had died and her sister Sarah had moved out of the family home, leaving Sidney, Fanny and Emily--the elder sister working as a foreman for a bookbinder and Emily as a teacher in at public schools number 6 and 7, a career she still maintained as of 1920, by which time she had moved into a boarding house in the Albany 7th Ward. At age 67, Emily is listed on the 1930 census as still living in the boarding house, making her living as a dressmaker. She died 10 April, 1937, in
Buffalo, Erie County, New York, and is buried at Albany Rural Cemetery, Menands, Albany County.
