- He was born in San Jacinto, California to Claudius Lee Emerson and Zelma (Schultz) Emerson. Census records list John’s father as the proprietor of a mountain resort. His mother was a homemaker. John was one of six siblings. The 1920 US Census shows the family living in the Claremont area of Los Angeles, when John was five years old. In 1930, the family lived in Hemet, California. He attended the University of California at Berkeley for one or two years. He then attended Colorado School of Mines from 1934 to 1938, where he studied mining, and was a member of the engineering fraternity Sigma Gamma Epsilon. While in school he also ran track, played tennis, was involved in intramural sports, and was a member of A.I.M.E. The 1940 US Census shows him living in Berkeley, California as a lodger and working as a mining engineer. He married Mary Leslie Hastings (of Los Angeles) in San Francisco on April 19, 1941. The 1950 census shows them living in Inyo, California, with John working as a mining engineer in a tungsten mine. At this time they had three sons between the ages of two and seven years old. They moved to Western Colorado in 1943, where Union Carbide had partnered with the Manhattan Project to create the Union Mines Development Corporation. There, he was involved in the search for uranium. He was transferred in 1946, but he and his wife returned to the Western Slope in 1956. He continued to work for Union Carbide. The 1974 Grand Junction City Directory lists his occupation as a general manager of the company. He died in Grand Junction at the age of ninety-two and is buried in Memorial Gardens. *Photograph from the 1938 Colorado School of Mines annual
