His quiet, unassuming manner and his fair dealing with all whom he came in contact with won him the respect and affection of all. Emmett’s life was that of a pioneer, bravely and cheerfully facing the dangers, exposure and hardships which can only be realized by those engaged in early day ranching. He was the posessor of a keen mind and hi s ready wit and excellent judgment pertaining to all matters concerning the cattle business and an absolute disregard of personal danger caused him to be much sought after and greatly admired which marked him a man among men. During the writers friendship with the deceased which has extended over a period of twenty-five years, I have never heard him speak an unkind word or did I ever know him to fail to extend tender and sympathetic help to those in sorrow or distress. In passing, Emmett leaves to mourn his death) two sisters, Minnie Hadsall of Middletan, Ida., and Ona Wilcoxen of Billings, Mont., two brothers, Thomas Fox and John Fox of Idalia, Colo., and fifteen nieces and nephews. He was proceeded in death by his father and mother, who are buried | in the Idalia cemetery and a sister, Mrs. R. A. Reasoner of Oberlin, Kan. Emmett’s gone but not forgotten. Never shall his memory fade, Tender thots shall alwayg linger Around the spot where he was laid.
