Aaron was born on March 12, 1855 in Somerset County, Pennsylvania. His parents were Michael Emmert (1830–1907) and Rosanna Lint (1835–1898). He was probably the first of ten children.
As a child Aaron moved with his family to a farm in Amboy Township, Lee County, Illinois. They later lived in China Township, which became Nachusa Township.
Aaron grew to adulthood, then at the age of 28 married Edith Ann Rex in Fillmore County, Nebraska on July 6, 1883. Edith Ann Rex was a native of Illinois. By 1880 she was evidently orphaned and living as a domestic servant in home of John and Amanda Hartzell in South Moline Township, Rock Island County, Illinois. There is nothing in the record, however, to explain why either party to the marriage was 425 miles away from Illinois in Nebraska.
The bride and groom evidently returned to Illinois, and produced 10 children between 1884 and 1897 in Lee County.
The 1920 census enumerated on January 6th in Lee County, Illinois, listed Aaron as a widower in the family home of his 25-year-old son Howard.
Meanwhile, the 1920 census enumerated on January 26th in Chicago listed Edith Ann and her daughter, Inez, living together in a rooming house at 640 Wrightwood Avenue. Edith Ann told the enumerator she was an unemployed widow. Inez was working as a mail order clerk, probably for industry giant Sears Roebuck & Company.
Whatever had come between Aaron and Edith Ann by 1920, death was to be the final arbiter. A headstone in Dewolf Cemetery reports Edith Ann's death date as November 3, 1921, and a state death record confirms the date.
Aaron died in Grand DeTour Township, Ogle County, Illinois at the age of 68 on October 17, 1923. He may have been staying there in another child's home.
Aaron's body was returned for burial in the DeWolf Cemetery, Lee, Illinois.

Subject’s relation to author: Despite sharing a family name, these Emmerts do not appear to be closely related to the Emmerts led to Lee County from Maryland in a wagon train by Brethren pastor Joseph Emmert in 1843, and who were buried in the Emmert Cemetery northeast of the village of Nachusa
