      His funeral was one of the largest held from the United Brethren church to which he had been converted in 1910. He was a membr of the Odd Fellows who "turned out in body and bore the body to its last resting place but on account of the dampness did not perform its beautiful ceremony at the grave."

      One obituary states that his parents were living on Big Buffalo Creek at the time of Emory's death.
