Thank you for posting this. There isn't much known about Emilie in he family history. We had just one of her works of art which disappeared when my sister Phyllis passed away 3 years ago. Similar artworks are so highly collectible that they very rarely turn up for sale. On the other hand, her anatomical renditions were used in medical journals and textbooks, and still can be found in those turn of last century publications.

There was a Phyllis Perry who was the great great granddaughter of Commodore Perry. Was that your sister? Are you a descendant of that famous Perry?

Dotty, it looks like Rev. John Philander Perry lost 3 infant sons. Do you know the reason why all 3 died?
