General Notes: Husband - Thompson Berry De Armit


He was educated at the public schools, after which he went to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and engaged in a tobacco and news business for two years. He then learned telegraphy and bookkeeping while in the employ of Dickson, Stewart & Co., coal operators, with whom he worked four years. His next position was with the New York and Cleveland Coal Company. From 1877, for twenty-three years on, he was thus employed, beginning as mine clerk and telegraph operator. He steadily forged to the front and became general manager of the company's mines. When the mines were sold he went to Bellair, Ohio, and established the Empire Coal Company, in connection with his brother. One year later they sold out, then he went with the Sharon Coal and Limestone Company, with whom he remained one year, after which time he was engaged in locating coal lands. He took up his residence in Grove City in 1902. In addition to his many interests, he was general manager of the Nellie Coal Company and interested in the H. K. Wicks & Co., Incorporated, of Buffalo, New York.
In politics Mr. De Armit was Republican. In church affairs he was a Presbyterian. He belonged to the Masonic fraternity, having advanced to the commandery. He was president of the Grove City Hospital, in the establishment of which he was very active in 1907.
