Charles Henry Buckius Demuth was both on November 8, 1883, on 109 North Lime Street in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. He was the only child of Ferdinand and Augusta Demuth. The Demuth family established the oldest continuing tobacco shop and snuff factory in America. His family's tobacco shop was such a success that Demuth never had to work as a teenager. Demuth's grandfather, Charles Buckius was also very well-known in Lancaster because he was the superintendent of the shoe department at the Lancaster County prison and he owned fourteen lower income rental properties in Lancaster County.

At the age of five, Demuth developed a hip illness, later known as Perthes, a common hip disease boys of that time developed at that age. Due to his chronic hip problem as a young boy, Demuth became very introverted and very close to his mother, Augusta. He tended to always play with the girls in grade school because his mother and aunt believed that the boys at school would play too rough and cause his hip injury to worsen. When Demuth was bedridden, his mother gave him crayons and watercolors, which

Norman Demuth

English composer and musicologist

Norman Demuth (15 July 1898 – 21 April 1968) was an English composer and musicologist, remembered largely for his biographies of French composers.

Biography

Early life

Demuth was born in Croydon, Surrey, at 91 St James' Road. On leaving Repton School in 1915, he volunteered as Rifleman No. 2780 with the 5th London Regiment (London Rifle Brigade) in the City of London on 17 September 1915, falsifying his age by adding one year on enlistment to seek active-service for which he was then under-age. In early March 1916 he was sent to France with a reinforcement draft to the Regiment's 1st Battalion on the Western Front, and was wounded in the leg by shrapnel fragments from the accidental detonation of a Mills Bomb on 28 June 1916 in the frontline village of Hebuterne during the prelude of the Battle of the Somme. He was medically evacuated to England and subsequently discharged from the British Army as medically unfit for further war service in November 1916.

Charles Demuth

Artist

born Lancaster, PA 1883-died Lancaster, PA 1935

Biography: Demuth was born to a prosperous, well-established Lancaster, Pennsylvania, family, but lameness from a hip disease contracted in childhood and his early ambivalence about his homosexuality combined to form an outsider self-image. As a child, Demuth took art lessons and later attended the Drexel Institute of Technology. Even though some members of his family were amateur artists, the Demuths were convinced that their son would fare better professionally as a commercial artist. Demuth's teachers at Drexel, however, encouraged him to transfer to The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. Trips to Europe during and after his five years at the academy (in 1907 and 1912–14) exposed Demuth to the vanguard art that was to influence his own style. When he returned to America, he divided his time among New York, Lancaster, and New England seaside resorts, where he spent his summers. In New York he exhibited first with Charles Daniel and later with Alfred Stieglitz, while pursuing a bohemian
