William Hammer left Sullivan county, Mo. in May 1850 for the gold fields, in Califorina (Gold Rush of '49). He joined a wagon train in St. Joseph Missouri, and worked his way to California as a Teamster (driving or guiding ) of Horses or Oxen pulling covered wagons. He also served as a provider (hunter) for getting fresh meat for the entire wagon train. He reached an area north of Placerville, California, where he spent most of his mining time. He was included in the U.S. Census of 1850 for Placerville, Ca.
He Kept a leather bound day book (diary) religiously. On the left page he would note the weight of gold sut of nuggets he found that day and on the opposite page he notedthe items or supplies he purchased and the amount he paid of them. Some of the items recalled were: Boots-$35.00;Eggs-$1.00 each; Bread-$1.00 a loaf; stamps (postage)-$3.00; half a hog-$6.00. He also bought gingham (perhaps to be used for curtains and table cloths). He was evidently a religious man, as there was never an entry made for working or spending money on Sunday.
In this day there was a copy of a deed for a mine that William Hammer bought from a Mr. Shaefer. There was also a single playing card (very different than the modern day cards.)(There were no numbers on them, only spots.)
When William Hammer finally decided to leave the gold fields, he went down to Sacramento River to the San Francisco Bay. He then boarded a Steamer and sailed south along the West Coast stopping at Acapulco, Mexico, for supplies, etc. They continued south easterly along the west cost of Mexico and Central America until reaching Panama. To cross the Isthmus of Panama he rode a stage coach and rail (The Panama Canal had not been constructied at this time). He boarded a ship, went to New Orleans, La. He may have went throught Kentucky and either took the rest of the family with him or told them about Sullivan County, Missouri, until his Tomas & Charity and his brothers and sisters joined him.
The day book was given me by my Aunt Alta Electa [Emberton] Hale, since I was the eldest great-grandson working on the 'Family Tree'. It is with great sadness that I must state the diary " disappeared" mysteriously. It just took a part of the body. This was something that should have been preserved for all.
Aunt Electa all had a gold nugget brought back by Grandad Willian Hammer. She gave this to Kenneth Emberton C., since he was also working on the family line.
FROM SULLIVAN COUNTY RECORDS
I, Wm. H. Emberton, a Justice of the Peace within and for the state and county aforesaid, do hereby certify that on the 19th day of June, 1870, I jointed together in marriage Silas E. Jones Susan E. Thomas of Sullivan, Co.,Missouri.
Given under my hand this 8th day of August AD 1870.
/s/ Wm. H. Emberton, J.P.
Filed for Records, August 8, 1870 George W.A. Preston, Recorder.
JUDGE EMBERTON DEAD
The Funeral Was Under the Auspices of Seaman Lodge No. 126, A.F. and A.M.
William H. Emberton was born in Washington county, Va, May 25, 1830. He moved with his parents to Monroe county, Ky, when he was eight years of age, and lived there till in 1848, he came to Sullivan county, M, where he spent with the exception of three years in the west, from 1850 to 1853, the rest of his life.
December 18, 1853, he was married to Sarah, daughter of Armistead C Hill. Of this union there is one living child, Nancy, wife of E B. Wages. His wife died in August 1860. He was married again December 1, 1861 to Miss Electa Van Wye. To this union five children were born, allof whom are living. They are Lucy, George, Florence, wife of James Clark, Elizabeth, wife of Ed I. Harris and William. Judge Emberton was for many years a member of the Christian church and also a Royal Arch Mason.
He leaves a brother G. W. Emberton and sister, Mary wife of Wm. Bennett, a wife four daughters and two sons.
Judge Emberton died May 6th, 1906, at his home in Milan, age 75 years, 11 months and 11 days. Funeral services were conducted from his home on Monday at 1:00 o'clock May 7th, by Rev. J. N. Boyd. At the close of the service the Masonic lodge, of which he was a long and honored member, conveyed the remains to its last resting place, four miles east of Milan, the priate burying of ground of the family. In the death of Judge Emberton the community loses one of its most respected and honored citizens. A man of the highest sense of honor and true to his convictions. He was twice elected county judge, the first time in 1860, which office he held for six years, being the only man in the county who held the office the entire period of the war. In 1898 he was again elected to the same office and served one term. He also served for a number of years as justice of the peace. Judge Emberton had been a resident of Milan for the past seven years, having moved from the farm four miles east fo here, a part of the same farm which his father settled when he came to Sullivan county.

It is with great sadness that I must state the diary " disappeared" mysteriously. It just took a part of the body. This was something that should have been preserved for all.
Aunt Electa all had a gold nugget brought back by Grandad Willian Hammer. She gave this to Kenneth Emberton C., since he was also working on the family line.

December 18, 1853, he was married to Sarah, daughter of Armistead C Hill. Of this union there is one living child, Nancy, wife of E B. Wages. His wife died in August 1860. He was married again December 1, 1861 to Miss Electa Van Wye. To this union five children were born, allof whom are living.

At the close of the service the Masonic lodge, of which he was a long and honored member, conveyed the remains to its last resting place, four miles east of Milan, the priate burying of ground of the family. In the death of Judge Emberton the community loses one of its most respected and honored citizens. A man of the highest sense of honor and true to his convictions. He was twice elected county judge, the first time in 1860, which office he held for six years, being the only man in the county who held the office the entire period of the war. In 1898 he was again elected to the same office and served one term. He also served for a number of years as justice of the peace. Judge Emberton had been a resident of Milan for the past seven years, having moved from the farm four miles east fo here, a part of the same farm which his father settled when he came to Sullivan county.

The news reached Milan last Friday that Mrs. Elecrta Emberton had quietly passed to the other shore at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Ed I. Harris, at her home at Flemington, Mo., on Thursday evening, Feb. 23, 1922. Mrs. Emberton had not been ill and even the immediate family could not see that the frail little body was growing thinner day by day. She was so energetic, so busy all the time, and her mind so clear even to the very last it was impossible for them to know that while her soul lingered with them, yet, like the belated pilgrim would at any moment brush from the mortal to the immorta. Electa VanWye was born July 8, 1839, in Columbus, Ohio and came to this county at an early day with her parents when Electa was only eighteen years old.
In Dec. 1861 she became the bride of Judge William H. Emberton and has lived in this county ever since. Ten chidren blessed the union, and all have "Passed over the great divide and out the line of our vision," except four. The living are: Mrs. Ed I. Harris, and George of Flemington, Mo., Miss Lucy and William (Bill), both of Green city.
The past seven winters Mrs. Emberton has spent with her daughter, Mrs. Harris. The little Harris children were devoted to "Grandma" and her chair and her place in their hearts will always be vacant to them. Mrs. Emberton was a devout member of the Christian church to which she had belonged many years. Her reamins were brought to Milan and taken to the residence of her step-daughter, Mrs. Nancy Wages, of near town, where the funeral services were held Sunday with Rev. Walker of Green City conducting same. Mrs. Emberton and Rev. Walker were old neighbors in Green City and he knew what a good woman, friend and neighbor she was. Her remains were tenderly laid to rest at the old EMBERTON GRAVEYARD four miles east of Milan, beside the husband and children who preceeded her to that better land several years ago. She was one of the pioneer women who are rapidly fading from the memory of this generation, soft of voice, industrious in those house-sifely duties that make real homes and not mere roosting places for the tired husband and children. Grandma Emberton after years of faithful service to her loved ones, has passed on but she will live forever in the memory of all who knew her.

William McKinley Emberton was a farmer for most of his short life except for a while when he was employed by the L&N Railroad. He worked in the south-Louisville shop.
He was farming (stripping tobacco) on 2 Nov, 1923 near Cave City, KY, when he and another man reportedly had an argument over cigarettes and again later, over some apples that McKinley had picked from a nearby tree. He had intended to give the apples to his sons.
At some point the other man hit McKinley in the head with a piece of wood, causing his death three days later. McKinley's assailant was arrested, tried, and sentenced to 8 years in prison. William Mckinley Emberton is buried in the Glasgow Cemetery. His widow, Lera Ermin Powell later married Elbert Ellis of Barren County and they had several children.
William McKinley and Hughie Denzmore Emberton married sisters, Lera Ermin Powell and Navada Powell.
