Honors
In 1907, a monument was constructed in Gadsden at the western end of the Broad Street bridge across the Coosa River in honor of her heroism. When the residents of Alabama City, Alabama (later annexed into Gadsden) built a high school in 1929, they named it in her honor. With the consolidation of the three Gadsden city high schools at the end of the 2006 school year, General Forrest Middle School was closed and Emma Sansom High School became Emma Sansom Middle School.
