In 1870, Emily and her family resided in Tinmouth, Vermont. They appear to have moved to Middletown, Vermont in 1872, but in 1878 they lived in Danby, Vermont.

Emily talked much of doing chores and working on her dress. She was a student at the time she wrote in her diaries, however, her age is unknown.
