In 1870, Tunis Delemater, 61, (born in New York) is a farmer residing in the Town of Broadalbin, Fulton county (West Galway Post Office), New York. Residing with him are his wife, Cynthia Delemater, 40, (born New York) who keeps house and his son from a previous marraige, Ira Delemater, 14, (born New York) who is also a farmer.169

As of 1 Jan 1880 Ira B. Delamater is a resident of Cranesville, New York.108
1900:
At the time of death, Ira had been a resident of Hagaman, New York for 18 years (since circa 1882).340
He had been “one of the foremost members of Chuctanunda lodge of Red Men and also of Excelsior grange, No. 263.”130
His cause of death is listed as Tuberculosis (consumption). He had been ill for three or four months.340,130
Memories of Wilson T. Delamater. By James B. Delamater, circa 2008342
Ira B. was my father’s father. He was a blacksmith, born in 1855 and died in 1900 of “consumption” at the age of 45. My father was Wilson T. He was born in 1881, so you see he was 19 when his father passed away. He was the only remaining male member of the family-he had a mother and younger sister-and he never got to finish school. As I remember he and his father’s employees took over the blacksmith shop and I do not know how long they ran it. I know that at one time he had a butcher shop—all my life at home I remember him going to the butcher shop and doing the shopping for meats—he brought home some great meat. All the time we lived in High Mills, N.Y. (while I was up to about 13) he worked as a machinist at the General Electric plant in Schenectady, N. Y . I remember that he had to walk about a mile to catch a trolley car to get to work and back, and since we had really hard winters in upstate N.Y. many an early morning he trudged through heavy snow, ice, and cold. In the summer it was hot and humid.
