According to TL's sister, Eva Williams-Haines', son, Bob Haines; Tom Lyle met Emery one night at a party in 1919. Emery had no place to stay that night, for some reason, so, Tom Lyle brought him home to his family, who were all living in an apartment above the first little Maybelline Company warehouse/office, in Chicago.
According to TL's, sister Mabel's, granddaughter, Linda Hughes; TL's father TJ, called Emery, "The man who came to dinner," and I guess never left. TL and Emery, were together from that day on, until Emery's death at 61 years of age. Tom Lyle never got over losing Emery.
