Granddaughter of George & Livonia Deborah (White) Jackson and great granddaughter of Benjamin Jackson.

On November 8, 1946, Emma married Jesse G. Noland, in his parents home, in Denver, Colorado. No children were born to this marriage. Emma had three and Jesse had two children, by previous marriages. Jesse and Rose Marie Spahn married in Council Bluffs, Iowa, October 1, 1938. Their 2 children from that marriage were adopted by their step-father.
Jesse and Emma lived with her father, Edgar C. Stevens, who was alone after the death of Emma's mother, Mary Ellen (Jackson) Stevens, May 4, 1944. After the death of her father, on July 13,1952, they moved to So. Lowell Blvd, in Southwest Denver.
During this time, she became a Practical Nurse, working in various hospitals Beth Israel, Mercy, Rocky Mountain Osteopathic and Veteran's Hospital. In April, 1955, she went to work for Dr's Guy F. Dunn and C. Lloyd Peterson, in the Colorado Blvd. Clinic, where she was employed for 8 years. After the untimely death of Dr. Dunn, she helped establish a new partnership with Dr. Peterson, Dr. Robert Sedar, Dr. Eugene Augter and Dr. Holly Kitawaga. In August, 1963, she became employed in the office of Dr. Walter H. Prockter, where she worked for five years.
As a member of the Practical Nurse Association of Colorado, she belonged to the Denver Division, where she was President four years and held various offices on a Division and State Association level. She worked on the committee for the Licensure of Practical Nurses, which was founded in 1957, and she became a Licensed Practical Nurse.
She belonged to the National Association of Parliamentarians, the American Baptist Women's Missionary Society, on a local Church level and the Rocky Mountain Region, The Security Benefit Association, a Fraternal Insurance Organization where she was Captain of a Competetive Drill Team and belonged to the George Washington Post of the Women's Relief Auxiliary to the Grand Army of the Republic of the Civil War Veteran's, where she was the Pianist.
In June, 1970, Emma and Jesse retired from their jobs, Emma had 23 years of nursing and Jesse had been employed for the United States Government as a Firefighter at Lowry Air Force Base. He had 27 years in Government Service. They purchased a Janitorial Service doing Commercial and Residential work for three years. The business tripled in size and they sold out the Commercial work and kept the Residential work, retiring again in 1980.
Having been a nurse for twenty-three years - fifteen of that time in doctor's offices, she still had nursing in her blood, so became the first woman to apply for an ambulance attendant on the Evergreen Volunteer Ambulance, paving the way for more women to join.
She became interested in the family history after her father passed away in 1952. It is hoped, that with all the information that has been researched to date, that someone will carry on - after her pen and typewriter are stilled, and continue to record family history, as it happens for future generations births - marriages and deaths.
For several years, the family was interested in horses and had one special one, "Tonto", they all loved. Most of the children learned to ride on him, he was so gentle. He finally had to be put to sleep, at the age of 27 years-- it was like losing a member of the family.
