Emmaretta’s parents were Robert Kenyon Green and Esther Eliza Morrison, both born in New York.
A document said that Robert Green and family were returning to Utah because he had been on a mission for the Church in the Eastern States.
They joined an “unknown company” to travel back to Utah with.
Two year old Emmaretta passed away on the journey West in Nebraska. There was no information in any of the histories I researched of why she passed away.
She is buried along the Mormon Trail by Scott’s Bluff in Nebraska.
In Amos M Musser's report to Brigham Young, he said:
“Several fresh graves mark the steps of the Angel of Death amongst them. I think we noticed but three or four. The names of three I remember well, as follows: Brother James Reader, late from St. Louis, formerly from England; Brother Peter Hanson, a Dane, and a young female by the name of Emerretta Green.”
