This booklet is a brief biography that Godbey wrote about his wife.
From the introducton:
Emma Durham, born November 28, 1839, in Boyle County, Kentucky; a child of Anglican paternity and Scotch maternity: her aged grandfather, John Durham a comrade of Daniel Boone, from Virginia, the pioneer of Kentucky, the first Methodist class-leader in the State. He was succeeded in his leadership by his son Benjamin, who had a Methodist Church and campground on his farm and was succeeded by his son James Wesley, who, in the distribution of his patrimony left this celebrated home of Methodism to my dear wife, as, I trow, because it was known throughout the State as the Methodist Tavern: because in the antecedency of all public conveyance it was to the Methodist preachers as a lodge in the wilderness. There all found rest and refreshments gratuitous and superabounding in their annual peregrinations to their appointments. As her husband was a Methodist preacher she inherited the homestead, a substantial brick building erected by her grandfather and pursuant to her wishes, augmented by a wooden story, in which the angels found her December 2, 1915, having lived on the earth seventy-six years and four days.
