James B. DeArmitt is a son of John and Margaret (Gallagher) DeArmitt, who are natives of
Pennsylvania, and of Irish descent. The parents were reared in Huntingdon County of their
native State, and remained there until 1869, when they came to Indiana. Their marriage
occurred November 27, 1856. John DeArmitt has followed farming all his life, although he
began a poor man he has, by energy and economy, acquired a competency. He has a well
improved farm of 100 acres where he now lives. Mr. and Mrs. DeArmitt are both members of
the Catholic Church. Their son, James B., was born September 3, 1857, and received a good
education in the normal school, at Danville, Ind., and in the Seminary at Roanoke. He was
thus thoroughly prepared to become a teacher, an occupation he has followed nine terms in
Huntington County. He is a young man of correct habits and highly esteemed in the
community where he is known. John A. DeArmitt was born December 20, 1861. He received a
similar ed!
ucation to that of his brother, and has followed the vocation of a pedagogue. The
DeArmitts are all Domocrats [sic] and men well and favorably known in the north-western
part of the county.
