This is my Great Grand Aunt Emma Lee Shoemake Marshall. According to my Grandmother, Emma and her sister, Willie Mae Doyle Ridgely (buried in Mountainview Cemetery with her two infant sons, one who died having never left the womb, and James William Ridgely III, who survived about one month), were the daughters of Doctor Patrick C. Doyle, but I suspect that Emma was the daughter of Thomas Shoemake who was probably adopted by her mother's second husband.
This is a mystery yet to be solved and it was probably rather obvious to them, but none of my living family has any idea of dates, places, or any other details about him.
My Grandmother, Ida Lurene Ridgely Davis, used to say that she wished that she could have met her mother. To that, people would tell her to look at her Aunt Emma, because they were very similar people.
Emma was married to a railroadman named Harrison C. 'Harry' Marshall, who had served in the Army in World War II and who is buried in the Baltimore National Cemetery. It's likely that surviving family members were unaware that Emma could have been buried with him, and so they chose a cemetery close by to place her.
Emma and Harry had one son, Caroll S. Marshall, who died after 1955, but we also haven't found his grave yet.
Additional information is welcome and we'll post more as we find it.
