They moved their family to Kanab,Kane,Utah. In 1883 He went on a 
business trip to Arizona and Mexico. Shortly thereafter they received word he 
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.

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.
