Emma Bates (1885-1947) only child, daughter of Jack Bates and Elizabeth 'Lizzie' Maynor (a sister to Grandpa James M. Maynor.)
The few people alive who remember Emma say she was still childlike even as an adult. Doc John Lillard signed her death certificate, and wrote that she died of "generalized carcinomatosis", which she had for seven years.
Even though they were not quite five and seven years old, that's what some cousins remember most about her, the huge sore (cancer) on the side of her face.
