Century Memorial
William Temple Emmet was one of the active public men in New York City politics. Member of the constitutional convention three years after his admission to the bar, he held office in the city’s Board of Education, serving later as State Superintendent of Insurance and then as Public Service Commissioner of the up-state district. He held that office up to the time of his death.
