Emma was the daughter of Robert Elliott Johnston and Grace Acheson.
She attended various churches in Philadelphia, including the Ebenezer Methodist Episcopal Church, where composer William Kirkpatrick also worshiped.
She worked as a school teacher, and McElroy’s 1873 Directory of Philadelphia listed her as an authoress.
After her elder sister, Esther Elliott Johnston Boyd, was widowed, the two sisters moved to Asbury Park, New Jersey, and later to Ocean Grove, New Jersey, where they shared a house.
