Life Sketch from Book, Conquerors of the West:
Henry's mother died when he was six years old and, shortly after that, he became a chimney sweep to help support the family. When he was 12, he had two years of education. When he was 16, he was baptized into the Church, and at the age of 18, he was sent on a mission to North-Western England. In February 1848, Henry, his father, and stepmother sailed to America. After arriving in St. Louis, they spent the next four years working and preparing to cross the plains. During this time his stepmother left the family. Henry married and they left with his father to go west. Their first child, a son, was born shortly after their arrival in the Valley. They lived in Salt Lake for the rest of their lives. Henry remained a faithful member of the church. He served in the Nauvoo Legion during the Johnston's Army era...then it lists family members, marriages of children

Henry (Harry) Brewerton Emery
Born 27 Oct 1852 Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, Utah
Occupation: In his earlier years:
mining, whacking bulls, and fought Indians. Fruit Grower (1907) For most of his life: Actor and Manager
LDS Mission to Europe 1877
Married Mary C (Katie) Putman 7 Jun 1885 Chicago, Cook, Illinois
 |
| Marriage License |
Note: Mary evidently went by different names. She is Mrs. Mary C Putnam on the marriage certificate, she's listed as Catherine in the 1870 Census for Illinois
while living in the Timothy Stubbs household with her mother and possibly an aunt. In 1880 Census page 189A, she is Katie Putnam and lists her occupation as an actress and is living with her mother. In 1910 she's going by Katie P Emery. Not sure if her parents ever married since her mother is Mary Mc Williams in 1870 and Mary Putnam in 1880. I did find one bit of evidence Katie was involved with theater - a copyrighted play she wrote called "The Jokers".
 |
Katie's headstone, though I'm not sure if someone just put a stone in the area she was buried or if this is what was le
ft for her back in the day. I also wondered why her married name wasn't used. However, this is the pic on findagrave for her.
|
On her death certificate, it claims her father was Harry Putnam (not Samuel Porter) and she was buried in Oak Woods Cemetery in Illinois, not Michigan. If you read the comment at the bottom of the blog, someone has filled in a few blanks.
More about Henry: He received his early education at the private schools in Salt Lake City, finishing with one term at the Deseret University. He was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on 18 November 1860 at the age of eight.
He entered the theatrical field in 1874 as a member of the old Salt Lake City Theater Stock Company. He played many seasons in places like Denver, Colorado, Helena, Montana, and San Francisco, California. He served a mission to Europe in 1877 at the age of 25.
Notes from Family Search Memories section: "Harry Emery was an actor. His wife was Katie. He lived in the East. He would give tickets [to his nieces/nephews) to a show. He acted in SL theaters and lived in the East"

| Sarah L E Timpson death certificate |
For the 1920 and 1930 Census, Sarah Timpson is living a double life. She was the second wife of John, but polygamy was outlawed in 1890 and they were only married a few years before it became illegal. All of their children were born after the manifesto the LDS church released making polygamy a thing of the past. The two censuses, therefore, claim she is married to "George". In the censuses, John is with his first wife, Jenette. It was obvious that despite the manifesto, John and Sarah had six children and he maintained her household and their children.

William and Sarah's marriage license
His brother, Frank, may have been the Deputy Clerk at the time
His father married them - he was a Bishop |
A Bit About William: (my notes/corrections/observations will be in blue)
According to the account written by Richard Emery, son of George and his second wife, Mary Pierpoint:
"William Emery...resided for his entire lifetime in the home where he was born (1481 Stratford Avenue is the address on his death certificate and looks nothing like the family home - which was located at 43 N 7W according to the picture of the family house above and is located next to a current overpass). Since this was his last address, perhaps he was living with a child at the time of his death?
 |
1481 Stratford Avenue as it is today - the old house must have been torn down. Note the house number on the front of the porch.
|
and was employed by the Utah Power and Light Company. He was a fine man having fulfilled a mission for the Latter-Day Church I can find no information about when or where he served an LDS Mission
. ... however, he, after gaining a college education, left the church in favor of atheism. Up to practically the time of his death, he believed there was no God. He was fanatical to a degree in his beliefs and attempted at times to induce other family members to join him in his belief. [Perhaps the last word should read disbelief]. ADDITIONAL NOTE FROM FAMILY SEARCH: "Well educated, he said, "Everyone should have a talent." He was an accomplished musician - piano player. He told the children that if they didn't develop a talent, they would, in the next life, be a donkey or animal. The more talented, you would be a bird.
He was said to have stated that no force could raise him from the grave once he was buried; and it is interesting to note that at one time, during heavy rain and flooding in SLC, some of the SL City cemetery was flooded [ when I researched about the flooding, I found the following site: https://geology.utah.gov/map-pub/survey-notes/geosights/geosights-salt-lake-city-cemetery-salt-lake-county/]and graves were washed out, one of these being his grave and his casket was washed down into the streets of SLC. [Nothing was mentioned in the article about the graves being washed out into the streets, but there was a picture of the place where the flood did go through. Headstones looked buckled and the ground was in upheaval.] Apparently, through the will of God, about a year before the time of his death, he must have received a revelation because he resumed his belief in God and Jesus Christ and the Latter-Day Saint religion."
