From The History of Holt County Missouri, page 352, Circa 1917:

"James T. Dearmont, postmaster of Mound City, has been a resident of Holt County since 1871, and of Mound City for the past thirty years. He has been identified with the business and public affairs of the town he loves for many years and is one of its prominent citizens.

He was born in Cook County, Virginia, November 19, 1844. He was a farmer in Virginia and in 1871 came to Holt county and located on a farm in Liberty Township, where he resided until he moved to Mound City in 1886. He first engaged in the grain and fuel business, which he followed until 1913. He was then elected mayor of Mound City and gave that office his attention until his appointment as postmaster, January 22, 1915, by President Wilson.

Mr. Dearmont is the son of Michael and Lucy Dearmont, natives of Virginia, where they died a few years ago. The subject of this sketch is the youngest of the family and the only member living. He was married in October, 1907, to Miss Mollie Reeves Ingersoll, at native of Illinois.

Mr. Dearmont has been a member of the city council of Mound City fourteen years and has given much of his time and effort to assist in the progress and advancement of the town. He is one of those public spirited citizens of which no community has a surplus. Fraternally he holds membership in the Odd Fellows and Woodmen of the World lodges."
