JAMES C. DEDMAN, commonwealth attorney for the eighteenth judicial district, is one of the leading members of the legal fraternity in his part of Kentucky and in every department of life, one of the most valued factors in the citizenship of Cynthiana. He is the scion of one of the fine old families of the south and by his own fine record upholds the prestige of his race. James C. Dedman was born in Woodford county, Kentucky, near Midway, October 23, 1869, and is the son of Robert Dedman, of Fayette county, this state. The life of the elder gentleman was coincident with that of General Ulysses S. Grant, his birth occurring April 27, 1822, the same day that the great general was born, and his death in August, 1885, a few weeks after Grant died. His wife, Mary Remington, born in Harrison county, Kentucky, in 1839, survived him for more than a score of years, her demise taking place January 17, 1907. They were the parents of three children, the subject and a sister,--Bessie, wife of R. E. Lair, of Cynthiana, Kentucky, surviving. By a previous marriage to a Miss Kay, of Fayette county, Robert Dedman became the father of seven children, but one of the number being deceased.
Mr. Dedman's grandfather Dedman was a native of the state of Virginia, who came to the Blue Grass state and located in Fayette county. There his son Robert was reared and received a common school education. While still a young man he decided upon a change of residence and removed to Woodford county where he engaged for six or eight years in the distilling business. He eventually turned his attention to farming, being variously located in Bourbon, Mercer and Woodford counties, and dying in Mercer county. After his death his widow removed to Cynthiana where she lived for the residue of her life.
James C. Dedman was reared amid the pleasant rural surrounding of his father's farm in Mercer county and attended the district school, supplementing his educational discipline with attendance at the high school of Cynthiana. While still a youth he concluded to adopt the profession of law as his own and he began his preparation under Hon. A. H. Ward and Judge Kimbrough, noted members of the Kentucky Bar, and then entered the Cincinnati Law School from which he was graduated in June, 1892. He immediately located in Cynthiana in the same office he occupies at the present time and there went through the usual experiences of the young lawyer, no matter how briliant [sic] and well equipped, while awaiting a clientage. He proved successful and in the fall of 1904 signal mark of the confidence he had inspired in the community was given in his election to the office of commonwealth attorney for the eighteenth judicial district, comprising the counties of Harrison, Nicholas, Pendleton and Robertson. He first assumed the duties of his office January 1, 1905, was subsequently re-elected, and is now serving his second term. He is one of the stanchest and truest of Harrison county Democrats, and has subscribed to the articles of faith of the party since his earliest voting days. He and his wife are members of the Christian church and fraternally he is affiliated with the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, No. 438.
On December 2, 1897, Mr. Dedman inaugurated a happy life companionship by his union with Mary E. Ashbrook, born in Cynthiana, Kentucky, September 23, 1870. They are the parents of three children, namely: Thomas Ashbrook, born January 12, 1899; Sarah, born October 4, 1900; and Helen H. born January 17, 1904.
