Emma was born in Hunt's Point, Westchester, New York, a daughter of Almeron Weller Whitehead (of Newburgh, NY) and Mary Ann Mais (of New York, NY)

She became the 2nd wife of Levi Bacon, Jr. in Sept of 1856 at Elizabeth Lake, and the new couple resided in Pontiac, Michigan where they had a family of 5 children.

They were:
1. Belle A., b. 1857
2. Agnes Idaline, b. 1859
3. Levi Seward, b. 1860
4. Charles Francis, b. 1861
5. Almeron Whitehead ("Barry"), b. 1870

Her husband Levi in 1875 became a patent clerk in Washington, DC, and they moved there, where her children variously married and moved to their own homes.

Her husband died in 1887, and she spent the remainder of her days it seems with her son Charles and his family, passing at their residence at 37 Carlton Street in Brookline, evidently from the effects of "hypostatic pneumonia".

(She was originally interred in the Congressional Cemetery in DC; her son Charles, having some means (as the president of Chandler & Co., Boston), moved the family members buried there to Rock Creek on 26-31 Jan 1916)
