He graduated from Dawson High School in 1887 and married Nellie A. Riley on June 19, 1895 in Dawson.

(Mrs. C. Dompierre) and Loretta. Robert Emmett studied pharmacy under Dr. J. T. Kinsler from 1887-1893. He opened his own drug business as Fenton Drug Store at 19th & O and also had drug stores at various times at 17th & South, 33rd & A, 12th & N in Lincoln, NE. He was the owner and operator of farms in Sedgwick & Kit Carson Counties in Colorado, Washington County and Kansas. He loved farms, so he always had one here and there, selling this one and buying that one. In 1937, he became Postmaster of Lincoln. He was also a member of the Kiwanis advisory board and a member of St. Mary's Catholic Church. At the age of 75 he decided to settle all his loans and quit investing. His daughter Florence remembered her father (Pops) as hard working, thoughtful, generous and kind. She said he often pulled several bills out from his Drug Store bills, stating how they were going through hard times and he didn't want to burden them with billing them at this difficult time in their life. He had lots of courage and intelligence to do so well with so many mouths to feed. The one thing he said he regretted was that he did not get to spend more time with his kids. Given the responsibilities he shouldered, one can certainly understand.
