Annotation 1

Emilie might have attended a sermon delivered by former slave and noted abolitionist, John Sella Martin.

The Rev. John Sella Martin was a Presbyterian minister noted in The Christian Recorder for making sermons from New York to Washington.  On January 25, 1865, Martin lectured in Philadelphia, so he may have made an appearance at Emilie’s church. “Washington Correspondence,” The Christian Recorder, July 9, 1864; “A Letter from New York,” The Christian Recorder, April 27, 1864.
