[TO BE EDITED]
John De Mar lived most of his life in Newtown, PA but moved his family to a "prarie" out west (possibly Kansas). His family is burried in Newtown Cemetary except his son John Jr. who is burried in West Laurel Hill Cemetary, Phila., PA.
John Lewis was an architect. He built houses in the Philadelphia area. He put a bid in for the building of City Hall but did not get the job. He said "one day there will be horseless carriages and this building will be in their way."
Research into death dates of the DeMars was done by Richard B. Tomlinson, Superinetendent of the Newtown Cemetery Assoc. 16 North Chancellor St. Newtown, PA 18940. He also took photos of the graves of the DeMars, Germans, and Pickering. April 2001.

1880 CENSUS - Neosha Falls, Woodson, KS
John L. Demar self, m. 52 born Md. Hotel Keeper, parents both born in Md.
Emily E. Demar, wife 44 b. Pa Parents both born in Pa
Emily E. Demar dau. s. 20 born Pa
Evaline E. Demar dau. s. 17 born Pa
John L. Demar son s. 15, born Pa attending school
Edwin B. Demar son s 13 born Pa attending school
Alexander Demar son s, 11 born Pa attending school
Alfred Demar son s. 3 born Kansas
As I originally mentioned to you, my great grandfather had two brothers, William R. and Lewis, who left Md in 1848. We were always told that they were older brothers.
The census could have the incorrect age and John L., of course could be John LEWIS Demar and possibly could fit this family. And, perhaps Wm and Lewis moved from Aquasco, PG Co. to Baltimore at some point before moving out of Md. (You had mentioned your John might be from Baltimore.) I will have to check some earlier census records
William R. Demar's son by his first marriage (Lewis Henry) lived briefly in Kansas with his 2nd wife. He is buried in Olivet, Osage Co. Kansas. He had a son Alexander by his first wife....and then your John L. is obviously John Lewis...so that would be two names in common. Just a hunch. What do you think?
Hope that this helps.
