Rev. Stephen Goodhue Emerson died at Prescott, Arizona, January 22, 1916, following an illness of seven months.
After graduation from Dartmouth he was prepared for the Christian ministry at Oberlin Theological Seminary.
On the completion of his course he was married to Miss Florence G. Stone of Kennebunkport, Maine, and at once began his life work as assistant pastor at Oakland, California. Later he held pastorates at Moreno, Perris, Pasadena, and San Diego, in California, and at Prescott, Arizona. His longest pastorates were in Pasadena (eight years) and at San Diego (six years).
With the exception of several trips East and a summer in Europe, his life work was in California until he came to Prescott, Arizona, in 1914.
He is survived by his wife and three children.
