They and several of their children are buried in the Emlay family plot. Monterey Daily Cypress (Monterey, California) November 24, 1907 (Sunday) "News of Pacific Grove. AGED PIONEER PASSES AWAY. Came Around The Horn to California Fifty-Five Years Ago. Ell Emlay, a pioneer of this state, passed peacefully away at his home on Caledonia avenue [in Pacific Grove] yesterday afternoon. He was seventy-eight years of age, but up to a short time ago he was in good health. About five weeks ago he was confined to his bed with the sickness which brought about his end. The deceased had been a resident of Pacific Grove for about five years and during his residence here has won the respect and esteem of all who made his acquaintance. He came here from Gilroy, where he has a large circle of friends who will learn of his demise with great sorrow. He was engaged in the harness business there for nearly thirty-six years and came there from Alvarado, where he followed the same business for about thirteen years. Mr. Emlay was born in Canada in 1829 and came to California around the Horn in a sailing vessel in 1852. He went to the mines during the gold excitement of the early days in the state, but not having very good success opened a harness shop in Alvarado, Alameda county, where he was married to Miss Helen C[ornelia] Farley, forty-eight years ago [July 3, 1859]. The deceased leaves to mourn their bereavement a sorrowing widow, four sons and four daughters. The children are Herbert [Laluce Emlay] and Roy [nee Leroy Lowell Emlay] of Pacific Grove; Henry [nee Harry Farley Emlay], who is secretary of the Chamber of Commerce of Watsonville; Oliver [nee Oliver Lewis Emlay], who lives In Mexico; Mrs. R[obert] M[iller] Fitzsimmons [nee Mary Josephine Emlay] of this city; Mrs. John H[oward] Carl [nee Emma Eleanor Emlay] of Rucker, Mrs. Frank H[arris] Ross [nee Luella Mabel Emlay] of San Jose, and Mrs. Edward T. [Franklin] Osborn [nee Harriet Minerva Emlay] of Hillyard, Washington. There will be short services at the residence in the Grove, after which the remains will be shipped to Gilroy where services will be held in the Methodist Church, of which the deceased was a member. Rev. J. H. N. Williams of Pacific Grove will take charge of the burial ceremonies."
