Soon after their marriage, Walter and Emma Stone Kemeys set sail for Europe, joined for at least part of their journey by Emma’s sister, Margaretta “Daisy” Stone Spedden, and her new husband, Frederic. Walter and Emma would ultimately spend a year and a half traveling abroad before returning to Morristown to build their estate, Tranquility. An album in MCHS’s archives chronicles the final four months of their journey as they toured from Bulgaria to Turkey to Sweden, concluding with the coronation of Edward VII in August 1902.
