ADAM EMERT
5-1-1824 -- 6-24-1908
Adam Emert, who died at his home on German Hill, June 24th, 1908, was born in Germany, May 1st, 1824.
In company with his parents, he came to this country in 1837 and with them made his home in Lancaster Co., Pa. In 1848 he was united in marriage with Mary Lawrence, who died Dec. 14th, 1894. To them were born twelve children, nine of whom remain to mourn the death of their father: John E. of Tylersburg; Adam and Andrew of Whig Hill; Jacob who lives at home; Phillip, Nathaniel and James all of Tionesta; Mrs. Fred Bristow of Buffalo, N.Y.; and Mrs. Sadie Perry of Valencia, Pa.
About 1854 Mr. Emert moved his family to Tylersburg, and a few years later to the home he occupied on German Hill until his death. He was a man capable of great endurance and by his tireless labor cleared up his farm, bringing it to a high standard of productiveness, and cared for his family.
On Aug. 27th, 1897, he was united in marriage with Mrs. Rachel
McIntyre, who also survives him. Seven years ago he united with the M.E. Church and with faith in a kind and loving Providence, after several years of suffering from heart trouble, he passed to the country where its inhabitants never grow old.
A large concourse of his neighbors and friends gathered at his home on Thurs. last at 1:30 PM and after funeral services there the body was taken to the Zuendel churchyard for burial, with the Rev. W. O. Calhoun conducting the service.
There's a missing link at home,
A dear father left today.
And we trust in realms of glory
Where we know he'll always stay.
There's a missing link at home,
The children bathed in tears
For a father long beloved,
Whom they loved so many years.
But he left the dear old home
For another far above,
And took with him a Saviour,
And his dear children's love.
Dear father rest, when we like you
Have passed life's toilsome journey through,
We'll come and lay our weary head
Near thine upon thy same sweet bed.
