At the age of 5, Emmett moved with his family to Los Angeles, California where they resided for 8 years. The family returned to the farm south of Linn Grove. Due to Ebnerâ€™s health limitations and his subsequent death in 1966, Emmett and Eve took an active role in the farming and dairy operation. On February 15, 1969, Emmett was united in marriage to Linda Anderson at Our Saviorâ€™s Lutheran Church in Rembrandt and to this union five children were born: Tasha, Victoria, Elisabet, Bianca, and Ethan. Following their marriage, they lived in Rembrandt prior to moving to Holstein where Emmett worked for VT Industries. The family moved to Sioux City where Emmett had various jobs including his employment at Trinity Rail. Emmett later made his home in West Palm Beach, Florida for several years prior to returning to northwest Iowa in January of 2011. He helped his brother-in-law, Bruce Rusk, with his farming operation until his retirement in June of 2012. Emmett attended the Summit Evangelical Free Church in Alta and enjoyed the fellowship of the church. He will be remembered as an avid reader, especially the Wall Street Journal.
