Emson, apparently with two wives both named Harriet [Harriet Fothergill, and then Harriet Bebee], had 7 children: William, Slater, Samuel, Marcella, Joseph, Franklin, and Lovell.
Emson Brown died 07 Jul 1867 in Piqua, and was buried in the Piqua Cemetery (also known as the Texas Street or Park Avenue Cemetery), which opened in March 1846 and closed in January 1870. Individuals who owned lots in this cemetery were allowed to exchange them for lots in the Forest Hill Cemetery. It was the responsibility of the families and heirs to transfer the bodies and stones or monuments to the new location. The Piqua Memorial Hospital was then built at the location of the closed cemetery, and at some point the street name was changed from Texas Street to Park Avenue. Upon the closing of the old cemetery, Harriet Brown transferred the Piqua Cemetery lots to Forest Hill Cemetery.
