Thomas Carlos Emmett

I do believe that the photo of Thomas Carlos Emmett and Lucy Philena Day are as labeled after comparing these two photos.

Thomas Carlos Emmett and Lucy Philena Canfield

Beverly Knell J. via email:  "On the back of this one it has penciled in Thomas Carlos Emmett and Lucy Philena Canfield." 
 
Thanks Bev!  Thanks for sharing!

I believe that this is indeed as stated on the back of the photo.  Although the photo of Lucy with her Emmett children shows a much larger jaw.  However, another young photo of her also shows a very thin jaw.  It must be just the angle.

(Photo:  Thomas, Moses & James Emett - I do not know which man he is)

Thomas Carlos Emmett was born to Moses Simpson Emmett and Catherine Dorcas Overton, he was 5th of 7 children.He md Lucy Philena Canfield, 13 Oct 1873 they were sealed in the Endowment house in Salt Lake City. They had 5 children.Don Thomas, David Carlos CARL, Olive Philena, Elsie, Alice Lillian.
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.

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 John Day Sr.

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.

Birth:	May 5, 1855 North Ogden Weber County Utah, USA
Death:	1883 Phoenix Maricopa County Arizona, USA

This has been proved to NOT BE Thomas Carlos Emmett. Jerry and Eveline Emmett sent me a copy of the original with the photographer's stamp and place. The Photographer did not exist until AFTER 1900. Thomas Carlos died in 1882 or 1883. Ther is speculation it is his son David Carlos Emett. What do you think?
