Emilia Gross was the daughter of Anna Schmitt and Frank Gross. She married August Reder and they had three children, Frank, Anna, and August, Jr., who was better known to the family as Father Michael.

About 1910, he husband August was killed by a runaway wagon. According to Father Michael, she could no longer afford to care for him, so she put him into the care of the Franciscan Monks. Her other children, Frank and Anna continued living with her through at least 1920.

We know nothing else about Emilia Gross other than that neither she nor Anna were alive in the 1960's
