and J. H. Thomasson and their successors in office and designees, signing
singly, the undersigned's true and lawful attorney-in-fact to:

	(1)	prepare, execute in the undersigned's name and on the undersigned's
	behalf, and submit to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the
	"SEC") a Form ID, including amendments thereto, and any other documents
	necessary or appropriate to obtain codes and passwords enabling the
	undersigned to make electronic filings with the SEC of reports required by
	Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or any rule or
	regulation of the SEC;

	(2)	execute and file for and on behalf of the undersigned, in the
	undersigned's capacity as an officer and/or director of Emerson Electric
	Co. (the "Company"), Forms 3, 4 and 5 in accordance with Section 16(a) of
	the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules thereunder;

	(3)	do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of the undersigned
	which may be necessary or desirable to complete and execute any such Form
	3, 4, or 5, complete and execute any amendment or amendments thereto, and
	timely file such form with the United States Securities and Exchange
	Commission and any stock exchange or similar authority; and

	(4)	take any other action of any type whatsoever in connection with the
	foregoing which, in the opinion of such attorney-in-fact, may be of benefit
	to, in the best interest of, or legally required by, the undersigned, it
	being understood that the documents executed by such attorney-in-fact on
	behalf of the undersigned pursuant to this Power of Attorney shall be in
	such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as such attorney-in-
	fact may approve in such attorney-in-fact's discretion.

The undersigned hereby grants to each such attorney-in-fact full power and
authority to do and perform any and every act and thing whatsoever requisite,
necessary, or proper to be done in the exercise of any of the rights and powers

unless earlier revoked by the undersigned in a signed writing delivered to the
foregoing attorneys-in-fact.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Power of Attorney to be
