Henry (42) Coster Emmet

Henry Coster Emmet was born in New York City on Sept. 8th, 1836, and named after his mother's father, Henry Coster. The child died of dysentry on August 5, 1843 - a little more than a month before his eighth birthday.  His family was evidently on a seaside holiday in Rockaway Beach at the time.  He is buried in Hyde Park, NY, near his family's house, in the cemetery of the St. James Episcopal Church.
