William was the first child of Cyrus Emery and Martha Denniston. About 1867, he moved with his family to Ft. Scott, Ks. Like his father, he was a stonecutter, as shown in Ft. Scott City Directories, and “he worked as a contractor in Ft. Scott, Ks., and later was in the monument business in Carthage, Jasper Co., Mo. He and/or his brother Andrew carved and placed the large granite stone which marks the Emery family graves at Evergreen Cemetery in Ft. Scott, Ks.”
On 7 Dec 1885 in Linn Co., Ks., William married Mary Jane "Jennie" Deselms, and they had two sons—Lee Roy and C.D. (possibly Cyrus D.). Family members believe that Lee Roy was adopted by William (possibly Jennie's child). Jennie was born on 25 Dec 1868 in Wapello, Louisa Co., Ia., a daughter of William Butler Deselms (b. Feb 1840, In.; d. 5 Dec 1902, Munhall, Logan Co., Ok.) and Lydia Rose (b. Jan 1850, Oh.). Although Jennie's 1900 Lincoln Co., Ok., and 1910 Los Angeles Co., Ca. Census entries state that she was widowed, William was still alive and they were divorced. In 1910, Jennie and her mother were living with Jennie's son Lee Emery.
Before 1920, Jennie married Philip Lincoln Poyzer, who was born on 22 May 1865 in Grass Valley, Nevada Co., Ca.; and in 1920, they were living in Los Angeles Co., Ca., and Philip was a mining engineer. Philip died on 25 Mar 1927 in Auburn, Placer Co., Ca. At the time of the 1940 Census, Jennie was living with her son Lee and his wife in Los Angeles, Ca.
Meanwhile, at the time of the 1900 Census, William was shown as "single" and living alone in Carthage, Jasper Co., Mo., where he was a marble dealer;12 and in 1910, William's mother was living with him in Jasper, Jasper Co., Mo., where he was a farmer and widowed. If he had married again after 1900, the identity of his second wife is not known. William died of cirrhosis at the home of his sister, Tressie Holtz. He is buried at Evergreen Cemetery in Ft. Scott, Bourbon Co., Ks.
