After Francisco Coutinho died, Emilia (his widow) married his brother, Manuel Coutinho. This was a common tradition at the time. Any existing relatives are expected to take care of a widowed wife. They were married at their home at 5 Havre Street in East Boston on July 4, 1926. Their witnesses were Jack and Adelaide Bans. The minister was John G. Loja.
