From a news item published August 27, 1890: Court Emmons, who has been in Kansas for near two years, called on his sister, Mrs. Frank Bainter, Saturday.

About 1891 Court married Alice E. Simmons, daughter of John A. Simmons and Harriett E. Lincoln.  Alice was born in 1875, probably in Fountain Green Township.

Court and Alice's sons were:

i.	Ernest Ray Emmings, born June 11, 1893.  When Ernie registered for Selective Service in 1917, he stated he had been born in Hancock Township, Hancock County.  He died June 26, 1942, at Macomb, McDonough County, burial at Moss Ridge Cemetery, Carthage, Hancock County.
ii.	Robert Acel Emmings, born November 21, 1897, died in December of 1965; last address on Social Security records: Springfield, Sangamon County, Illinois.  He married Laura Blanche Comstock in 1919.

Alice lost her life on March 14, 1918.  She died at Macomb, McDonough County.  While we have not learned the cause of her death, any death occurring in 1918 is suspect for the virulent influenza epidemic.

Court remained in Fountain Green Township with his boys, both of whom brought their wives to live in the Emmings home for varying periods.  He died in 1954.

Both Alice and Court were buried at Webster Cemetery in Fountain Green Township.
