Emma V Pittenger, b. 1874, Delaware Co., Delaware Twp., IN
Parents: Francis Pittenger and Eliza J. Marks

11/5/02: Shari Ware (widow of Dick Ware, Ball State Journalism professor, told me that she owns a glass negative collection of the Pittenger Sisters. She thought they were acquired in Eaton, but said that at least one was taken in Albany)

Find A Grave #69915337: Emma Viora Pittenger
https://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=69915337&ref=acom 
Emma Viora Pittenger (aunt Emma, my great aunt) was the tenth child born into this family of thirteen. Like the others she was born near Selma in the family home that her father built.

Emma did not marry.

Emma was widely known around Delaware County and beyond as an artist and photographer. She owned and operated a studio in Albany for a large part of her life. She took many pictures of her family, many of which will eventually be posted here. She also took photos for many of the schools in the northeast part of Delaware county and the northwest part of Randolph County. A collection of her photographs and negatives are now owned by the Archives at Ball State University.
