"Emmor and Ann M Haines, after their marriage in 1843, commenced a farm life, at Shelby, in Orleans Co., NY, where his father had long lived. In 1849 they removed to Trout Run, Pennsylvania, where Emmor purchased three or four thousand acres of woodland, and operated a saw mill, and went largely into the lumber business, which he carried on with varying success for ten years, removing, in 1856 to Williamsport, but still in the same business. In 1860 he sold out his interest in Pennsylvania, and in the Spring of 1861 they went to Buffalo, taking with them four young children. Here Emmor Haines went into a wholesale lumber business, which soon prospered and gave him a competence. Since 1875 they have lived at leisure and have traveled much on both sides of the Atlantic.
Emmor and Ann M. Haines have always been active members of the Society of Friends, maintaining the best standing in Orthodox Quakerism, and for many years have both been members of the New York Representative Meeting. Few things will contrast more strikingly the change in Orthodox Quakerism in the last half century, than to state that when they are at home in Buffalo, where there is no Friends' Meeting, they are regular attendants on the services of the Congregational Church, and when we last visited them in the late autumn of 1888, we found Emmor was the chairman of the Church Committee to find a new minister for the Congregational Church."   From "Adam and Anne Mott" by Thomas C. Cornell 1890

In 1882  Emmor was the Greenback candidate for U.S. Representative from New York 32nd District.  He was also involved in the affairs of the Congregational Church; helped author, "An Appeal to Ministers of the Gospel of all Denominations in Behalf of Peace," in 1876; and was President of the Buffalo Historical Society in 1887.
