A TALENTED ARTIST, EMMA EDWARDS WENT TO
WORK IN 1890 TO DESIGN IDAHO’S STATE SEAL
WHEN SHE WAS ONLY 18 YEARS OLD.
Although her father moved to California after
serving as governor of Missouri (1844 - 1848),
Emma preferred to spend much of her time in Idaho.
After her marriage to John C. Green, a Boise
Basin miner, they took up a land claim along
Emma Creek and Green Greek in 1906 and
lived her many summers. Her seal
design designated Syringa, which blooms
on these hills, as Idaho’s State Flower.
