Sidney A. Delamarter
Sidney A. Delamarter was born on March 13, 1843, in Athens, Pennsylvania, to Stephen W. Delamarter and Fannie E. Brigham. His father was a brickmaker who worked on the Chenango Canal in Greene, New York. The family owned $500 of personal property in 1860. Delamater attended school in Chenango County, New York.
He enlisted in the Union army on August 9, 1862, and mustered in as a private in Company E of the 114th New York Infantry four days later. The army sent the men to Louisiana, where they took part in the Siege of Port Hudson in the summer of 1863. A year later, they were transferred to the Eastern Theater, and they fought in the Battle of Fort Stevens in July 1864. Delamarter was wounded in the Third Battle of Winchester that September. He apparently spent the rest of the war in the hospital, and he was discharged at Satterlee Hospital in Philadelphia on May 17, 1865.
Delamarter returned to Greene after the war. He married Mary A. Underhill on November 29, 1868, and their daughter Mary E. was born around 1870. In 1870, Delamarter was working as a brick maker, and he owned $4,000 of real estate. By the early 1900s, he owned a meat market. He remained in Greene for the rest of his life, and he died there on September 24, 1917.
