Edward Thomas Demby (February 13, 1869 – April 14, 1957) was an African-American bishop and author. Ordained as a priest in the Episcopal Church of the United States and later a suffragan bishop in the Diocese of Arkansas and the Southwest, Demby worked against racial discrimination and for interracial harmony, both within and outside of his church. ==Early and family life== Born in Wilmington, Delaware in 1869, the eldest child of Edward T. Demby IV and Mary Anderson Tippett (both freeborn), Edward Demby received his initial education from his uncle, Eddy Anderson, who operated a school behind Ezion (Northern) Methodist Episcopal Church, a pillar of Wilmington's African American community.〔http://www.blackpast.org/aah/ezion-mount-carmel-united-methodist-church-wilmington-delaware-1789〕〔http://archives.delaware.gov/markers/ncc/NC-143.shtml〕 He then moved to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to attend the prestigious Institute for Colored Youth and then to Baltimore for the Centenary Bible Institute. He also attended Howard University in Washington, D.C., Wilberforce University in Ohio and University of Chicago, and taught younger children to support himself.〔Beary entry concerning Demby in Henry Louis Gates and Evelyn Brooks Higgenbotham, ''African American Lives'', Oxford University Press, 2004, p. 228.〕 Demby's first wife, Polly Alston Sherrill, died while he was serving in Tennessee. He then moved to St. Augustine's Church in Kansas City where, in 1902, he married Antoinette Ricks who had been one of Howard University's first nurse graduates and was then head nurse at Kansas City's Freedman's Hospital.
