Mr. Allen LaMar O'Hara, age 98 of Frederick, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by family on Saturday, September 3, 2022. Born on January 9, 1924, near Adamstown, he was the son of the late John and Elizabeth O'Hara. He was the loving husband of the late Mary Margaret Keller O'Hara.
LaMar, or 'Babe' as he was known to his family, was born and raised on the family farm and graduated from Frederick High School. As the youngest of seven children, he was the last remaining of his siblings and in-laws. As a farm youth, he worked with horses on the farm, learning how to care for them and worked them in the fields. He showed horses at several local fairs. After graduating from high school, he worked with his brother John on the farm.
He met Mary, the love of his life, at the Sears Roebuck in downtown Frederick. They married on November 20, 1947. In subsequent years, they farmed in the areas of Ijamsville and Ballenger before settling on a farm on Cap Stine Road in 1953, where he lived the remainder of his life. Next to his faith and his family, dairy farming was his life. He worked diligently seven days a week on the farm where he took great pride in his dairy cattle and the crops he raised.
LaMar was a member of Emmanuel Trinity Lutheran Church (formerly St. Matthew's Lutheran Church) on Ballenger Creek Pike, Frederick. Mr. O'Hara was a 50+ year member of the Carroll Manor Grange, the Frederick County Farm Bureau, and the Maryland and Virginia Milk Producers Cooperative. In addition to the farm, he drove a school bus for Frederick County Public Schools and worked at the Frederick Livestock Auction for many years. He enjoyed gardening, and volunteering at church, the Grange and 4-H Camp Center.
