Janice Louise Emmert was born in Dixon, Illinois, on April 25, 1954, to Marilyn Betty Hoyle, age 29, and Gerald Edgar Emmert, age 32. She may have been the couple's only child.
THE EMMERTS OF MARYLAND
Janice's branch of the Emmert family tree came to America from Bavaria in 1732 when his 5th great-grandfather, Johann Jorg Friedrich "George" Emmert (1718-1796), stepped off the ship Loyal Judith in colonial Philadelphia. George and his wife, Eve Maria Graff, became naturalized British subjects in 1751, but then disavowed the king in 1778 when George took the Oath of Allegiance to the State of Pennsylvania before Judge Peter Spycker in Berks County.
George's son was Leonard Emmert, a beloved "Old Pathfinder" of the Brethren church. Leonard was born to George and Eve Maria in Bethel Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, British Colonial America in about 1745. He served as a militiaman in the Revolutionary War before converting from Lutheranism and moving his family to Washington County, Maryland, in 1798. Leonard's impact on the growth of the Church of the Brethren would reverberate down through the generations, and would reach into Illinois, Wisconsin, and even overseas to India and Denmark.
Leonard Emmert was Janice's 5th-great grandfather. In the generations following Leonard's death in 1804, many members of the family emigrated to Illinois in the 1840s, then to Iowa in the 1860s and 1870s, most of them carrying the Church of the Brethren west with them. That is how Janice came to be born in Illinois in 1954 to a veteran of World War II and his young wife.
A LIFE CUT SHORT
Janice lived a brief three days. Her tiny coffin was committed to the earth in the Emmert Cemetery, surrounded by scores of ancestors, aunts, uncles, and cousins.
