Julius Yemans Dewey ( – 〔) was an American doctor of medicine and businessman in the state of Vermont during the 19th century. He was born in Berlin, Vermont. He attended Washington County Grammar School and then the University of Vermont. His first wife and the mother of his children was Mary Perrin whom he married in 1825. She died young, however, and he had two later marriages without issue, to Susan Edson Tarbox and Susan Elizabeth Griggs Lilley.〔 He was a founder of the Christ Episcopal church of Montpelier. He served as a trustee of Norwich University. He was a founder of and later president of the National Life Insurance Company and he personally delivered the remittance for the company's first claim, prompting a public thank-you from the surviving family.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.nationallife.com/public/histarchive/our_history/pages/first_claims_1.asp ) ()〕 He served as a surgeon for the First Regiment of the Vermont State Militia.〔 One of his sons was USN Admiral of the Navy and hero of the Spanish-American War George Dewey. == Family == He was born to Simeon Dewey (1770 - 1863) and his wife Prudence Yemens (1772 - 1844). They were married on February 27, 1794.〔(Upstate New York Genealogy And History:"Dewey, Josiah, Descendants )〕〔(Murat Halstead, "The lineage of Admiral Dewey" (1995) )〕 ''A concise life of Admiral George Dewey'' (1899) by William J. Lawrence mentions his parents briefly. "His son Simeon was the admiral's grandfather — Captain Simeon Dewey, born at Hebron, Connecticut, in 1770, who married Prudence Yemans in 1794. When the time came to strike out for himself he chose to settle in Berlin, Vermont, four miles from Montpelier, the capital, where he prospered and survived to the age of ninety-three. Among his sons was one, Julius Yemans, born in 1801, who turned to books rather than to the ax and plow of the farmer of three-quarters of a century ago, and became exceptional among his fellows by that ambition." 〔(William J.
