They moved their family to Kanab,Kane,Utah. In 1883 He went on a

was sick in Pheonix with smallpox. A short time later his saddle and silver
spurs were sent home. He had died of smallpox in Pheonix.
Lucys family came and
moved her back home to Enterprise where she had the love and support she needed
to raise her family.She Later married

There are many unsubstantiated rumors that still persist even after
125 years. I have letters, life stories, and 1st hand accounts of what happened
to Thomas. My great grandfather,Don Thomas Emett, his son told others to ignore
what people say,we know what is true. We are told by the authorities to not
gossip. It is sad 125 years later people can't wait to tell me how bad my
great-great grandfather was.If he did do wrong by his family let the Lord take
care of it. It is the Savior he will have to answer to not you or I. Unless you
have good proof please do not email me about this subject.
