WIFE OF
2nd Lt. TENADORE WOODWARD, GAR
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Emma L. Ashmore was born 1842 in Trenton, NJ, the eldest of 8 known surviving children (2 boys/6 girls) born to ship's Captain Henry J. Ashmore and his wife, Catherine "Kate" Smith. Emma is descended from a prominent line of Ashmores and Smiths who settled in Lamberton in south Trenton during the Colonial period.
She was 28 years old when she married on May 9, 1870 in Trenton to 34-year old Civil War veteran Tenadore Woodward. The couple is believed to have had several children who died in infancy, although only one known child -- May Woodward -- has been documented.
Her husband, Tenadore Woodward was a printer by trade and 1850 was working his trade in Freehold, NJ; then moved to New York City (ca. 1860) where he was employed in a large print house.
When Civil War broke out, Tenadore Woodward enlisted with the NJ 14th Volunteers where he was commissioned 2nd Lieutenant of Company B on August 20, 1862. He mustered out 3 years later as an invalid, resigning his commission due to disabilities on August 24, 1864. Afterwards, he was know to have walked with a cane, so it is believed he suffered wounds to his leg.
Following his service with the NJ 14th Volunteers, Tenadore settled in Trenton and, once again, entered the printing business. For some years (1875-1878) he employed as a printer for THE DAILY PUBLIC OPINION (later Weekly Public Opinion) owned by prominent publisher William S. Sharp and edited by Edward S. Ellis. When the paper folded, Tenadore continued his association with Mr. Sharp, a lover of history, who by then had opened W. S. Sharp Printing Company in Trenton and was a prolific publisher of everything from handbills and pamphlets to books. (Sharp published Genealogy of Early Settlers of Trenton and Ewing").
In 1878, Tenadore and Emma had moved in with her family at 225 Hanover Street, where they remained until his young death on July 1, 1883 at age 47.
Emma Ashmore Woodard never remarried and remained in her family household until her death.
