John Emerson of Conway and grandson of Rev. Joseph Emerson of Malden, great-grandson of the Rev. Joseph Emerson of Mendon; his paternal grandmother was a daughter of Rev. Samuel Moody of York, in Maine, highly distinguished in his day for piety, zeal, and faithfulness; little known of early life, made a public profession of religion soon after he left college; during his ministry at Chester was esteemed as a young man of more than ordinary talents, greatly beloved for his simplicity, zeal and force as a preacher and for his kindness and fidelity as a pastor, but his useful labors there were cut short due to a failure of his health; regained his health and entered again to duties of a pastor; after 19 years at Manchester his health failed again, he requested dismissal from his flock; after a few months, his health restored, he accepted an invitation from Heath, they had suffered much from division and strife and and many had almost despaired of ever having the ministrations of the gospel established again upon them; they were in unity to call him, and he accepted, described in the pulpit as, "distinguished for the clearness and variety of the truths presented, and the holy fervor with which he endeavored to impress them upon the hearts and consciences of his bearers..."; he loved especially to dwell upon the theme of a Saviour's love; in the month of June 1841 he was induced to visit Saratoga and try the efficacy of its waters upon his impaired and declining health, the waters appeared to aggravate it and hasten its crisis; with much difficulty he returned to his family at Heath and in three weeks from the time of reaching his home, he closed the last scene of life; his widow's letter to a friend states he was sitting in his chair as she prepared medicine and he simply dropped his head and died
