Cousin Emmy was from Lamb, KY, but later moved to Tracy, which is the area my people on my mother's side are from.  In 1935, she was the first woman to win the National Oldtime Fiddlers' Contest.  She taught Grandpa Jones how to play clawhammer.  But she is probably best known for writing the song, "Ruby, Are You Mad at Your Man?" now a bluegrass standard popularized by the Osborne Bros.  In her words, she was “the first hillbilly to own a Cadillac.”
