Samuel Austin Deming

1875 - 1934

Friends of Dr. S.A. Deming, veterinarian, will be sorry to hear that he passed away at Binghamton Wednesday morning.  Dr. Samuel Austin Deming, a son of Adin and Helen Snedeker Deming was born in New Berlin [Chenango Co., NY], September 20, 1875.  While a boy he moved with his parents to North Norwich, where he grew to manhood.  Dr. Deming attended Norwich high school and later spent a year in the Ontario Veterinary College of Canada.  In 1903 he entered the Chicago Veterinary College, a branch of the Illinois University, graduating from that institution in 1905.  After serving one year as intern in the hospital, he moved to Ida Grove, Iowa, where he practiced for 16 years.  He also engaged very successfully in the real estate business.  Dr. Deming returned to Norwich in 1922 and purchased the veterinary practice of Dr. W.L. Sturges, which he continued until his increasing ill health prevented further active practice.  In 1892 he married Alice Waters of North Norwich, who died in 1930.  Of three children born to them, two died in infancy and a son Harold was drowned at the age of 11 years.  An only brother, Nelson Deming died several years ago, so he leaves no near relatives.  Dr. Deming, who was a veterinarian of wide experience and unusual skill, will be missed by many friends and acquaintances who will remember him not only for his ability as a doctor and surgeon but for his honesty and for his loyalty to his friends.  The deceased was a member of Norwich lodge, 302, F.&A.M.  The funeral services will be held from the Breese funeral home at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon, Rev. L.S. Charters, rector of Emmanuel Episcopal church, officiating. Burial will be made in Mt. Hope cemetery [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY].  Norwich Lodge, 302 F.&A.M. will act as an escort.
