  Research Notes	ASSOC-Herman Will/Lena Frasher
  	Lena Frasher Emerson, mother of Cleo Emerson, of Pampa. Lena's daughter Eula, was informant for Cleo Emerson's death cert and gave their mother's name as "Lena Will." Lena died a widow in 1946, and was buried with the last name Emerson. Sam Emerson died in 1923; when Lena would have been 66 yrs old. Did she possibly, briefly marry a 2nd husband, named "Will" to explain her daughter giving "Will" as her last name? Lena is attached to Herman Albert "Jack" Will because of the potential connection of her son Cleo Emerson with the Laila Ryther Stone line and the connecting Will name. It's all pure conjecture. So far, no explanation for Lena to have been ID'd as "Will" by her daughter, nor any indication that if she did have a 2nd husband "Will," that there was a definitive connection between that 2nd husband and to Herbert "Jack" Will. Nevertheless, since much research has been done on the Frasher/Emerson family and due to respect to their lives and legacy, they will remain in this family's tree. (See Herman Albert "Jack" Will - I17968) Dec 1, 2011 -- Regarding the last name given has "Will," received an email from a descendant who said "I noticed your question about Lena being listed sometimes on death certificates as "Lena Will" - I think this was an attempt to show her middle name as Lena Wilhemina."
