Portrait and Biographical Album of Washington, Clay and Riley Counties of Kansas published i n 1890. This volume records: Francis M. Damtez, a veteran of the Civil War, is one of the most skillful of the practi cal, enterprising farmers of Washington County, and he has one of the most valuable farms wit hin its bounds, comprising the northeast quarter of section 21, Washington Township, and he h as besides another good farm of 160 acres in Coleman Township. He is of German birth and ant ecedents, born in Zeitz, near Leipsic, a city of Saxony, June 1, 1834. His father, Samuel Da metz, was born in Greensburg, in the Province of Silesia, Germany. He followed the shoemaker 's trade and also farmed, and spent his entire life in the Fatherland. The maiden name of th e mother of our subject was Caroline Meltzer, and she was also a life-long resident of German y. There were five children born to her and her husband: Robert, Morris, Julius, Henrietta a nd Francis, all of whom but Robert are still living. He of whom we write was the only member of the family to come to America, though three o f his nephews have since come: Francis Julius, who lives in Rooks County, Kansas, Francis M. , in New York and Paul, in Connecticut. Our subject gleamed a substantial education in the e xcellent schools of his native land, which he attended quite steadily till after he was fourt een years old, when he commenced to learn the trade of a butcher, which he followed until 185 4. In that year the stalwart, wide-awake, capable youth, ambitious to see something of th e world and to make something out of life more than he could do at home, determined to emigra te to the United States of America, the goal of so many of his countrymen, to see if he coul d improve his fortunes here. He set sail from Bremen the 1st of April and after a long and t edious voyage, landed in New York on the 20th of the following May, a stranger in a strange l and, with only a capital of thirty-seven cents with which to begin his new life. Nothing dau nted by this disheartening aray of facts he sought and soon found employment, becoming a driv er on a canal in New Jersey. A week later he went to Pennsylvania, where he found work o n a farm in Northampton County at $5 a month. Two months later he went to work at his trade in Easton, obtaining $9 a month for his wag es till the following spring. He then came Westward as far as Illinois, and the ensuing eight years was employed o n a farm. After that we hear of him in Iowa, where he became identified with the agricultura l interests of Marion County, buying a 40-acre farm, which he worked profitably, and later bo ught more land, and continued carrying on farming in Iowa till 1873. In the month of March , that year, Mr. Dametz came to Kansas with a team, having traded his Iowa possessions for 16 0 acres of wild land, comprising his farm on section 21, Washington Township. He now has th e entire tract well improved, surrounded by a neatly trimmed hedge, and provided with a goo d set of conveniently arranged frame buildings and everything necessary to carry on agricultu re after the approved methods, and has it stocked with cattle, horses, and hogs of excellen t grades. His farm in Coleman Township is also in good shape in regards improvements, cultiv ation, etc., and compares well with others in its neighborhood. Mr. Dametz has been very suc cessful in raising small fruit and has a choice variety in his gardens. In September, 1856 Mr. Dametz took an important step in his life, and one that has contr ibuted materally to his comfort, prosperity and happiness, by his marriage to Miss Lavina Hor n, a native of Clinton county, Pennsylvania and a daughter of Samuel and Susan (Smith) Horn . Her father was born in Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, his father, David Horn, a farmer o f German ancestry, having spent his last years there (Clearfield, Pennsylvania). Mrs. Dametz's maternal grandfather was a native of Pennsylvania and was of German parent age. The children born to Mr. and Mrs. Dametz are as follows: Susan Caroline is the wife o f Arthur Bissel, and they live in Washington; Lucinda Jane is the wife of Lemon D. Thompson , and they live in Washington Township; Charles married Mary E. Phillippi, and they live in C oleman Township. Samuel married Lillie Penwell, and they live near Steele City, Nebraska; Omer A. lives i n Denver; Frank E. at home; Mary married Joseph McClellan; they live in Washington Township. Mr. Dametz is a well-educated man, and has a good command of both the German and Englis h languages, speaking either fluently. He is a fine representative of our self-made men, a s all that he is and all that he has, he owes to his own exertions, he having been well endow ed by nature with energy, (undecipherable word) and stability of character, and a good capaci ty for intelligent labor. Since coming here he has (undecipherable) a valuable citizen, on e whom all could trust, and with characteristic public spirit he has engaged all schemes fo r the improvement of the township. He is President of the Friend's Academy Association (Frie nds is the real name of the Quaker church) under whose auspices the new academy is being erec ted in Washington, and he is President of the Washington Township Sunday School Association . He and his wife are members of the Society of Friends, and their daily lives live up to th e teachings of the Quaker doctrines. We would do scant justice to our subject did we not men tion his connection with the late war in which he bore so honorable a part. Although a belie ver in the peaceful tenets of the Quaker faith (strong beliefs against war), after the breaki ng out of the strife broke out between the North and the South, Mr. Dametz watched the strugg le with intense interest, and at last his patriotism overcoming every scruple he determined t o aid in fighting his country's battles, and enlisted Aug 22, 1862 in Company I. 74th Illinoi s Infantry,, serving with valor and credit till the expiration of his term of enlistment in S eptember, 1863. In the following February, 1864 he again offered his services to his country , and became a member of Company D, 36th Iowa Infantry, and did not leave the service till af ter the last battle was fought, being stationed the most of the time in Arkansas. His army r ecord was that of a brave, faithful soldier, always ready at the summons of duty, whether i n camp or in face of the enemy.
