J. G. Demare, Insurance
[Souvenir of the Town of Welland, issued August 22, 1902 by the Welland Telegraph Sears & Sawle, Publishers]
One of Welland’s most popular and progressive citizens is Mr. J.G. Demare, an honoured member of the present town council. Mr Demare is an old time resident of the town, but for a period of twenty-eight years or more, he was identified with the management and construction of both the old and new Welland Canals, which required his presence elsewhere. In connection with the new canal, he had charge of placing the gates in position, and getting the canal ready for navigation, its entire length, and had the honor of taking the first boat, the “Don M. Dickinson,” through the canal. In 1881, he was made assistant superintendent of maintenance of the lower division of the new canal, retiring therefrom on account of ill health in 1898, since which time he has been successfully engaged in fire, life and accident insurance business, representing the leading companies in that line of business. He has an office in his beautiful residence on West Main Street.
