Why was Elsa crying while playing the piano in 1883?

"You definitely aren't forgetting, you know, it's not like he dies and we just forget about him," Nelsen said. "She [Elsa] recalls his memory a good deal and it's brought up throughout the rest of the season."
Elsa was the main narrator of 1883 and appeared via voiceover in the first episode of 1923 as well. James and Margaret also had two sons: John and Spencer.
