I had a "folk memory" that the Conley's daughter, Emma, was adopted. The usual searches on Ancestry and newspapers.com yielded nothing, but assuming that the indexing system for these sites might be a little less than perfect, I tried a visual examination of the actual newspapers for the week of her death. In the Pittsburgh Daily Post for 15 December, 1881, notice of her passing was recorded. And there was the information that she had been adopted.

Excellent.
We will probably never know, but it would be telling to know who conducted the funeral service.
I looked but could not find any mention of who conducted the service.
