Isaac Hunter Trail is my 1st cousin 3 times removed, on my maternal side of the family.  Emma Floyd Trail is his wife. 
Isaac was the only son of James W. Trail and Susan Hunter (stay tuned for a blog post about them which will be published tomorrow)  Isaac Trail was a well known Detective and long member of the Terre Haute Police Force.  He went home after work, where he died so suddenly that a physician could not be summoned.  He was only 47 years old. 
Emma lived for 26 years after Isaac’s death.  She was a teacher. She died at age 66 of cerebral hemorrhage and pneumonia.  It doesn’t appear that she remarried after Isaac’s death.  They had one son, James F. Trail.
Both of them are buried at Highland Lawn Cemetery in Terre Haute, Vigo, Indiana.  Isaac’s memorial can be found here #28222519.  And, Emma’s can be found here #28222518.
If you have additional information about this family or are descended from or connected to them, I’d love to hear from you.
