I came upon Emily just as evening fell. The last rays of the sun illuminated the tower cab. She is a beauty.
EMILY Township was named from Emily Lake, one of its group of four lakes having feminine names, Anna, Emily, Mary, and Ruth, but whether they were of one family, or what was the surname of any of them, has not been ascertained. Probably they were the daughters or wives of early lumbermen. The city of Emily, section 34, on the west shore of Lake Emily, was platted on November 22, 1905, by John and Amelia Lambert and incorporated on March 7, 1957; its post office began in 1900.
