Hello Susan,
You didn't specify what resources you have checked, so I will give what is found on 1910 census for 3rd Ward - Northhampton, Hampshire Massachusetts for Alex. Proctor (48) family.
Effie B. 45
Difficult to read, but kids appear to be Margaret, Eunice (Emma?), and John, and another that says "daughter" and I guess could be Harriet
Jemima is with them, but age is unreadable (looks like 2).
Effie is a widow by 1920, and all kids still living with her, same place.
I suspect to find living relatives, you are going to have the very difficult job of trying to find marriage records for Effie's kids, and perhaps a marriage record for Jemima. It is not an easy task.
Nick

Social Security Death Index
Emma Proctor
Last residence - Northampton, Hampshire Co., Massachusetts
Born 3 April 1899
Died July 1964
Social Sec. No. issued in Massachusetts in 1951
There's a tree on Ancestry.com that has the following details on two of the Proctor children:
John Alexander Proctor (born 24 Jun. 1901 in Northampton and died 30 Oct. 1997 in Needham, Mass. - however, the Mass. death index seems to say he died in Natick) married Doris Berenice McCulloch (born 8 Jan. 1908 in Minasville, Nova Scotia, Canada and died 7 Dec. 2001 in Needham) and has at least 1 living child.
Harriet D. Proctor (born 17 Jun. 1903 and died 1 Nov. 2000, both in Northampton) was married to Raymond Lemon (born 1899 & died 1956).
The Massachusetts death index lists Harriet's spouse as J. Raymond Lemon. There is a WWI Draft Registration Card for James Raymond Lemon in Northampton who was born 2 Jul. 1899. There's another tree on Ancestry that lists a living child of Harriet & Raymond. It says this living person married a living person named Winter & they have 3 living children.
1930 Census, Northampton, Mass.
Lemon, Raymond J., rents home for $54, owns a radio set, male, white, age 30, married, age at 1st marriage - 29, b. New Jersey, father b. Scotland, mother b. New York, engineer - telephone co., not a veteran
wife Harriet D., female, white, age 26, married, age at 1st marriage - 25, b. Massachusetts, parents b. Scotland, clerk - telephone co.
It looks like Emma Proctor had a conference room named after her http://www.smith.edu/deanoffaculty/about.php & received a doorknob and keyhole mounted on wood for 46 years of service. http://asteria.fivecolleges.edu/findaids/smitharchives/manosca105.html You might want to try e-mailing the college archives to see if they can give you any further information - a college publication might have an obituary for her. http://www.smith.edu/libraries/libs/archives/info.htm#staff
If you search on newslibrary.com for "Harriet Lemon", you can see the beginning part of obituaries for John A. Proctor & Marguerite (Proctor) Parsons.
