James Madison DeArmond
From "Vol 2 History of Davenport and Scott County" by Harry E. Downer - S. J. Clarke Publishing Co. 1910 Chicago
No history of educational interests of Davenport would be complete without extended reference to the life work of James Madison DeArmond, who for many years was connected with the ward schools of the city as principal. He stood for all that is highest and best in educational work and his aims, his purposes and his labors inspired other teachers and pupils, so that the results of his achievements are yet seen in the lives of those with whom he came in contact, leaving the impress of his strong individuality and laudable ambition upon them.
A native of Pennsylvania, Professor DeArmond was born in Blair county on the 7th of September, 1846.
His grandfather's brother, Michael DeArmond, was a brave soldier of the Revolutionary war, doing active duty with Company B, Fifth Regiment of Pennsylvania Volunteers. He took part with his company in the battle of Long Island, August 27, 1776, and also in other important engagements.
The father was James DeArmond, who for many years followed general farming in Pennsylvania, leaving that state about 1864. His identification with agricultural interests in Iowa continued until 1871, when he removed to Greenfield, Missouri, where he established his home.
There his remaining days were passed, his death occuriring in 1885, when he had reached the very venerable age of ninety-five years. His widow survived him and for a long period made her home with Judge DeArmond of Butler, Missouri, W. W. DeArmond, an attorney of Chicago, and Dr. J. A. DeArmond, of Davenport, were brothers of our subject.
Professor James Madison DeArmond was reared upon the old homestead in the Keystone state, early becoming familiar with the duties and labors incident to the development of the fields. He received such education as the common schools afforded and remained on the home farm until his eighteenth year, and when he left home for the first time he attended college in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. He had been a student in that institution for a year when his parents removed to Scott county, Iowa, and he accompanied them. He continued his education here and within a year was graduated from the high school of Davenport. Entering upon educational work, he was appointed principal of public school No. 6, and his success in that field of labor was most marked. He was afterward made principal of school No. 5 and creditably filled that position until served with distinction in that position, his administration being generally satisfactory to the public, for his efficiency, systematic labors and intelligently directed methods of conducting business made this a model office. On the expiration of his four years' term he retired and for a year thereafter was engaged in no business. He was then again placed on the roll of school superintendents as the head of school No. 3, which position he continued to fill until his death. He held to high ideals in his work, continuously seeking out new methods which would prove of practical value in the conduct and advancement of the schools. He had a great passion for history and made himself authority especially upon the history of his own country, while upon that of foreign lands he was scarcely less versed. In 1874 he became a member of the Iowa State Teachers Association, of which he served as secretary for a year. He was prominent among the organizers of the Iowa Reading circle and did much to advance its interests as long as his health permitted.
In 1869 Professor DeArmond was married to Miss RACHEL SCOTT, a daughter of Colonel THOMAS SCOTT, and they became the parents of four children, who are all now deceased.
Professor DeArmond was for many years a member of Trinity Lodge, F. & A. M., and in his life exemplified the beneficent spirit of the craft, which is based upon mutual helpfulness and brotherly kindness. He was always a stanch democrat in his political faith and undoubledly would have been chosen for the office of mayor had he not been too modest to accept the honor. At all times he rejoiced in Davenport's advancement and cooperated in many movements for its progress. His labors were of a most effective character, for while he held ideals he utilized practical methods in achieving results. During the periods of vacation he did much newspaper work in connection with the Democrat. He attended the Presbyterian church and held membership with the Sons of the American Revolution. He always took great interest in young people and performed his professional services with a sense of conscientious obligation, realizing how important is the training of the young as a preparation for life's work. He knew that he was implanting in the minds of pupils seeds of knowledge and truth which in due time would bear fruit, and he was therefore most careful to give them that which in later life would be most helpful.
