FROM ESBY WALTER'S DIARY
According to E.W.'s diary, his father, William Henry Deadman (28
March 1812-22 September 1872) was a farmer and a blacksmith, who
raised a family just across the Yadkin River, from Rowan County,
in Davidson County, North Carolina. Dr. E.W. wrote: "How well do
I remember my childhood and youthful days at my father's home with
its peach and apple orchards where we happy, light-hearted
children use to sing and play. My father was a fairly good farmer
and an elegant blacksmith in his day, who owned his own home free
of debt."
"At the age of sixty father died, leaving me at 13 with one older
sister (Clara Camille) and two younger sisters (Margaret E. and
Martha F.) with our widowed mother, who lived a widow the
remaining twenty-seven years of her life, dying at the good old
age of 77 years."
"We children had all married (by the time of Sarah Caton Dedmond's
death) and had several children among whom our mother would come
and mingle, all being glad to see her come and stay just as long
as she would."
*Note that E.W. says his father died in 1872. This is all we have
from E.W.'s diary and his relatives seem to know nothing about it.
The diary has disappeared but some extracts were made from it
before it vanished.

Esby Walter Dedmond died only ten days after the death of his wife, Martha
Ann Washington Lookadoo Dedmond.
ESBY WALTER DEDMOND
by
Annette Fisher
History 2207
November 14, 1979
Esby Walter Dedmond was born February 14, 1859 in Davie
County, North Carolina. He was one of seventeen children of
William Henry and Sarah Caton Dedmond. His father, William
Henry Dedmond, was a blacksmith and a farmer. He raised his
family near the Yadkin River in the area that is now called
Davidson County, North Carolina. William Henry Dedmond died
in 1872, when his son Esby Walter Dedmond was only thirteen
years of age.
In a diary by Esby Walter Dedmond he wrote:
"How well do I remember my childhood and youthful days in my
father's home with its peach and apple orchards where we
happy light hearted children used to sing and play. My
father was a fairly good farmer and an elegant black smith in
his day, who owned his own home free of debt."
"I can remember the old log house that remained until since
the civil war. Logs were very large and humus and contained
some port holes where he could shoot out and kill Indians if
they made a charge."
The Dedmond Family lived in the area of Rowan County, North
Carolina which in 1836 divided and became Rowan, Davie and
Davidson Counties.
It was this area where the first Thomas Dedmond and his wife,
a relative of Squire Boone (Daniel Boone's father), first
came to the Yadkin River around 1753.
In Dedmond's diary he wrote a story about his ancestors and
the Indians. The story reads:
"But Grandpap Thos. #1 his son Edmond and Grandson Thos. #2
who was my Great Grandfather, all three of them could or did
get on well with the Indians his horse would snort so loud
when Indians would come around that supersticious fears would
be aroused to such an extent that they would leave without
hostilities and finally quit coming around him at night al
together (sic) but not so with Boone, Daniel was such a
reckless dare devil kind of a boy among them, wrestling, and
all kinds of rough playing which would wind up with a raw and
many times it resulting in more than one white man."
Annie Lizzie Dedmond Ormand Troutman, his youngest daughter,
believed her father was tutored along with his brothers and
sisters in their home through the fifth grade.
At age twenty, Esby Walter Dedmond attended school at
Jerusalem, North Carolina. At this time he studied writing,
reading, and arithmetic. He was a good student as shown by
his grades.
Esby Walter Dedmonds' childhood was a very happy one but as
time past so did the happy childhood.
In 1872 William Henry Dedmond died. Esby Walter Dedmond
states this in his diary.
"But time brought changes, at the age of 60 father died
leaving me at 13 with one older sister and 2 younger sisters
with our widowed mother who lived a widow her remaining 27
years of life dying at the good old age of 77 years and at
last she died of Lagrip. We children had all married and had
several children among whom our mother would come and mingle
all being glad to see her come and stay just as long as she
would." (Editor's note-His mother actually died in 1897 at
age 75, per F.B. Dedmond)
After the death of his parents, Dedmond told of a complaint
of his older brothers and sisters to the courts about
dividing up his fathers property. He lived at the home place
at this time and told of the happening in his diary:
"Her older children made complaint to the court and through
my second oldest sisters husband, Thos. Butler, the land was
sold and it so transpired that they got practically nothing
and we younger ones received about 3 times as much as the
older ones did."
Esby Walter Dedmond was married to Martha Anne Washington
Lookadoo at Ellenboro, North Carolina on December 11, 1879.
She was born March 4, 1862, being seventeen years old when
married.
According to his diary, Dedmond owned his first home during
the first years of his marriage for he wrote:
"I lived for a long time in my own home during my first years
of marriage life, but changes came, the unask for happened,
after dry summers (seven years) and bills of my croppers
carried over from year to year, mortages running and all the
bills aginst (sic) them which I stood for was paid by me, but
to do it the mortage had to be foreclosed."
Dedmond continued in his diary telling of the hardship and
poverty he and his family were faced with:
"With my corn crib fastened by the officer and the high
sherif, (sic) and there, had to steal, my own corn out of my
own crib at night, to get bread for my wife and poor hungry
children. Just think with foreclosure and turning out a
helpless man and his wife and his children to beg, or starve
or freeze, you'll have every vantage of the confidence and
love for all man mad (sic) laws ground out of your hardened
soul. Your home sold from under your feet, your shelter from
over your head and turn you and your weakly wife and innocent
little children, who have never been taught the rougher ways
of life, because myself nor my wife had ever faced such
prespositions."
"I paid every cent and where any interest was due I paid that
but it taken all and I had to bid goodbye to my 2nd home,
take my wife and my five children and battle the cold and
phlegmatic taunts of a hartless (sic) world, but I found some
friends---and we saved and worked and managed to raise our
five children."
The five children of Esby and Martha Dedmond were: George
Caton, Ada Viona, Esby Vondura, Mattie Iona, and Annie
Lizzie. There were two sons and three daughters, all are
deceased except the youngest, Annie Lizzie Dedmond Ormand
Troutman, who resides in Columbus, North Carolina in Polk
County. (Editor-Annie Lizzie Dedmond died Feb. 7, 1993 and
she was the last of his children to die.)
Dedmond expressed his views and ideas of marriage and home:
"There is no influence that so stamps and impresses an
individual as that of a home, the noblest grandest thing a
man ever done was to marry a good and sensible working girl,
take her to his home if it be humble, with love in a house
will soon transfer into a pallace (sic), our Maker has given
us this beautiful world with enough and more to satisfy our
every possible want, if we will use it aright. I have given
up 2 homes and know my home where I first saw the light and
where I romed (sic) over hill and dale, where my few short
school years was spent and where my fondest memories reaches
out and twine around each other like love denials for
something to cling too. I went with my young wife to our new
home after the birth of our 5th baby."
Dedmond's fifth child was born January 18, 1892 at Ellenboro,
North Carolina in Rutherford County.
Esby Walter Dedmond purchased land in Ellenboro, North
Carolina (Register of Deeds of Rutherford County, July 11-15,
1892).
Dedmond paid taxes to Colfax Township.
While living in Ellenboro, North Carolina Dedmond was the
district agent for the Valley Mutual Life Association of
Richmond, Virginia, in 1893. Also during this time while
living in Rutherford County, Dedmond ran an excursion from
Rutherford County to Wilmington, North Carolina. The "Grand
Seaside Excursion was by train. He also managed the
"Steamer Wilmington" in 1895. He transported soldiers during
the war and afterward he made chartered cruises from
Wilmington to Wrightsville Beach.
The Dedmonds' moved from Ellenboro to Pineville, North
Carolina. In his diary Dedmond wrote:
"I moved to Pineville Jan. 6, 1904, staid (sic) till Oct.
3rd. then moved to Charlotte where I staid (sic) till Feb. 7,
1905. I got on all right till my stove flue caught the house
on fire and I came near getting burned out, wife had a long
spell of sickness and came very near dying when she was able
to be up is when the fire occured, we could not get the flue
repaired on acc't of the intense cold the mortar would only
be a hard lump of ice."
The Dedmond family moved on July 7, 1905 to Fort Mill, South
Carolina. He must have enjoyed it there because he described
the place to be "the wonderful-how-did-it-ever-come-into-
existance-town-of-Fort Mill, S.C."
He only lived for a short time in Fort Mill. He seemed to
have trouble making a new start and he was not well himself.
Doctors had not been able to help him and were uncertain of
what caused his illness.
At midnight on the fourth of October, 1905 he and his family
boarded a train called "Chester" and headed for Clinton,
South Carolina. They traveled to the home of their oldest
daughter, Ada Viona Brown. She lived in house number
twenty-one belonging to Lydia Mills where she and her husband
were employed as textile workers. The daughter took them in
and they lived altogether for a while.
Esby Walter Dedmonds illness got worse. He tried many
remedies but none seemed to help. He depended on God for his
strength and direction. A portion of a prayer written in his
diary is as follows:
"Merciful Father only to think of the love for God, His
Church, His people, our government, radical that in the
future we may begin to hope that our children at least, may
have a home freed from the wage slavery system."
Dedmond operated a merchantile business in 1906, at Clinton,
South Carolina. His store was prosperous and he worked very
hard inspite of his illness.
Esby Walter Dedmond was told he had pellagra and there was no
cure. His condition had grown worse; his skin darkened in
color and was scaly. Sores were on his body that would not
heal. His legs were the worse infected with the disease.
One day a friend told him of a medicine that came from
mineral rocks that might help him. He went to Spartenburg,
South Carolin and got some of the medicine to try. After
taking part of the treatment he began to feel better and his
hopes to be cured increased. He had been with this awful
disease for seven years.
His body was soon healed and he gained strength. He was very
interested in this medicine and bought into the business.
The medicine rocks were found at the foot hills of White Oak
Mountain in Polk County, North Carolina.
Dedmond and several others tried to produce and market the
medicine by selling to drug stores. There were many
obstacles. Doctors ridiculed them and told patients not to
take the medicine. After discouraging problems, Dedmond
bought the other partners out. He was determined to see that
the pellagra treatment that cured him would help others also.
He got legal advice from Hoke and Hoke, Attorney at Law in
Lincolnton, North Carolina. He also spoke to the governor to
get support. Dr. J.W. Babcock, a doctor at a mental hospital
in Columbia, South Carolina was very much in disagreement
with the pellagra treatment. The governor wrote a letter to
Dr. Babcock asking him to let Esby Walter Dedmond help cure
the disease called pellagra.
Esby Walter Dedmond cured many people. He had booklets and
pamplets printed as testimonials to the pellagra treatments.
Doctors and everyone could hardly believe it. People came
from miles to get some medicine.
For a while Dedmond lived in Clinton, South Carolina and ran
his business from there but finally he and his family moved
to Columbus, North Carolina, in Polk County where the mineral
rocks were discovered.
Dedmond was the first in Columbus to own an auto which he
brought in his move from Clinton.
Dedmond owned two pieces of property in Columbus. One was
where he lived on Peak Street in Columbus, North Carolina,
where he lived for the remainder of his life. He lived in
one of the oldest homes there, a beautiful two story wood
framed building with bay windows. The house had four
bedrooms, dining room, living room, kitchen, two hallways and
a pantry.
The other piece of property was located one half of a mile
off "Ole 19 road" between Columbus and Mill Springs where his
medicine mine was.
The medicine rock was found in the banks of a small stream.
The rock was blasted from the banks and placed into large
wooden hoppers. The wooden hoppers stood about five feet
tall and about two feet wide at the top narrowing at the
bottom forming into a V-shape. At the bottom was a hollowed
poplar log for the medicine to drip into. Poplar was used
here because it had no taste.
There were five hoppers at this mine and they were in a small
shed to keep from weather.
The rocks in the hoppers were sprinkled with spring water
every morning and the medicine would slowly drip from the
bottom of the hoppers into a vessel which was emptied into
barrels to age and to be processed into the treatment. It
took approximately three days with five hoppers going to drip
one gallon of medicine.
Dedmond named the treatment Tirtuat-Vondurae. Tirtuat was
the name of the rock and Vondurae was part of his youngest
sons name.
Tirtuat and Vondurae were taken for the bowels and Tirtuat
was additionally for food digestion, burns, and
bloodclotting.
Dedmond also made Virgin-Miss Pills which were for the liver
and kidneys and Marbletop Pills (Virgin) which were for
stomach ailments.
Mr. J. L. Charter of Whitestone, South Carolina wrote on
October 6, 1911 about the pellagra treatment:
"On the 28th of August I purchased one of your treatments for
pellagra for my wife it seems to have hope (sic) her to some
extent. I believe you have got the remedy that will cure but
Drs. are fighting it, there are several cases watching the
results of your medicine on my wife. They are afraid to buy
it unless it cures her...There is so many people who try to
dishearten her telling her it is only a fake and no good in
it."
On December 11, 1911 Dedmond received another letter from Mr.
J.L. Charter which reads:
"We have not words to express our gratitude and thankfulness
to you and your medicine for what it has done for my wife.
We are recommending it to everyone that has this awful
disease. There is a number of cases around me that refuse to
take the treatment, some have died.
There were many testimonials like the one above.
Dedmond was well known and highly respected by all. Everyone
called him "Esquire" or "Doc". Dedmond loved children and
were loved by them. Dedmond was not just a business man but
loved entertainment.
Esby Walter Dedmond died January 1, 1940 at the age of
eighty-one years, only ten days after the death of his wife.
He was buried at the Columbus Presbyterian Church beside his
wife. He was survived by his five children, seventeen grand
children and several great-grand children.
His obituary was listed in the newspaper as follows:

ESBY WALTER DEDMOND
"Esby Walter's grandchildren "swear" by Dr. E.W.'s medicine.
They praised it to the high heavens when I visited them some
years ago. Dr. E.W. had an office, off from his house in
Columbus, N.C., where he treated, counseled, and prescribed
for his patients. The M.D.'s tried to stop Dr. E.W. from
treating patients and sending medicine through the mails, but
old Dr. E.W. won out. I visited the "medicine mine.""
(Francis B. Dedmond)(1 October 1992)
"It is interesting that George Caton Dedmond, son of Dr. Esby
Walter, changed the spelling of his name to Dedmondt. The
present Dedmonds of Tryon, N.C., fallow George's spelling and
pronunciation."

years later at the age of 77.
Espy was a German family name. There was an Eva Espy and Heinrich married
October 31, 1790. No doubt, Esby was a derivative of this family name.
