He had a large family of ten children, all of whom lived to maturity and died without issue. He died crushed by financial disturb ances and by the loss of his family, on August 12, 1863. His only surviving child Dudley Selden Emmet survived him but three years. Mount Vernon for nearly forty years was a beauti ful hospitable home. Doctor Thomas Addis Emmet says that in 1845 it was very rural, there being nothing to indicate the proximity of the city, except the pavement on Third Avenue. It originally faced the Boston Post Road. The gate or lodge was between Sixtieth and Sixty-first Streets on Third Avenue in the later years. It covered ten or twelve city blocks. Its gardens and greenhouses were noted for their extent and excellence.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
