In 1898, at the age of ten, Emmett was sent to his home in Shinnery settlement to remain overnight and return the next day with provisions for his father's trapping camp, ten miles south. While returning to the camp, he was caught in a blizzard and lost his way. Night fell, and he perished from the cold. His frozen body was found several days later in King County.
