From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Halmer Hull Emmons (November 22, 1814 – May 14, 1877) was a United States federal judge.

Born in Keeseville, New York, Emmons read law to enter the bar. He was in private practice in Keeseville, New York and Essex, New York in 1837, in Cleveland, Ohio from 1837 to 1838, and then in Detroit, Michigan until 1870.

On January 10, 1870, Emmons was nominated by President Ulysses Grant to a new seat on the United States circuit court for the Sixth Circuit created by 16 Stat. 44. He was confirmed by the United States Senate on January 17, 1870, and received his commission the same day. Emmons served in that capacity until his death, in 1877, in Detroit.
