General Notes: Husband - John T. Deemar, M.D.
He was the only child of his parents, and his mother dying when he was just seven months old, he was reared in the family of his father's uncle, Alexander Y. Black, a Scotchman, and a strict Covenanter. He attended public school and Elderton Academy, subsequently reading medicine with Dr. John M. St. Clair, under whose guidance he learned the compounding of medicines, visited patients, and became familiar with the physician's routine. He attended lectures at Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, from which institution he was graduated in 1879. He began his professional career associated with Dr. Thomas C. Lawson, later of Brookville, Pennsylvania, but within a short time settled in Manor township, Armstrong County, where he thereafter resided. For thirty-five years or more he was in active practice. He was a member of the Armstrong County and Pennsylvania State Medical Societies, and of the American Medical Association, and was a delegate to the fiftieth annual meeting of the American Medical Association in Philadelphia in 1897. Dr. Deemar often served as a delegate to the State Medical Society meetings, and was president of the Armstrong County Medical Society-which show his reputation among members of the profession. In politics he was a Republican, and always took an active interest in behalf of his party, serving several times as delegate to the State conventions. He was a delegate to the National presidential convention at Chicago, in 1908, he and Hon. Edward Carmalt representing the Thirty-seventh Congressional district of Pennsylvania. Fraternally he belonged to Blue Lodge No. 244, F. & A. M., and Orient Chapter, No. 247, R. A. M., both of Kittanning, and Pittsburgh Commandery, No. 1, K. T. Dr. Deemar was one of the fact witnesses in the celebrated Thaw trial which took place in New York City in 1907.
He was a consistent member of the Methodist Church, in which he reared his children, and he served on the official board for a number of years. [HAC 1914, 576]
