QUESTIONS: Father's sheet says 29 Aug 1925. Check this birthdate, had brother
born in Dec of same year (David). Own sheet says 30 Jun 1930, which I will
use, but the deathdate on own sheet is given as 1 Sep 1925? Obviously
copied wrong - he was married in 1952, and his oldest child was born 1962.

Nick Demus Jr., longtime business owner, dies at 90
SHINNSTON — Nick Demus Jr., 90, a lifelong resident of Worthington, passed away peacefully in his sleep in the early morning at his home Monday, Jan. 15, 2018.
He was born in Worthington March 7, 1927, son of the late Nick Demus Sr. and Theresa Elizabeth (Cavallo) Demus of Worthington.
He is survived by his wife of 65 years, Merelyn (Sparacino) Demus; five children, Nick Demus III, Fairmont, his children, Nick Demus IV and wife Shannon, Lauren Demus and children Breauna and Alyssa Demus; Deneen Demus Russell and husband Thomas Russell, Fairfax, VA, and children Delaney R. Russell and Thomas S. Russell; Joseph D. Demus and wife Nanette, Mt. Clare and children Dominique Demus and Ricky Malfregot; Marie Birdsell and longtime companion Steve Schartiger, Fairmont, and daughter Jordan Birdsell; and Angelica N. Demus, Morgantown; his sisters, Nellie Demus, Rose Argiro (and late husband Larry Argiro); his brothers, James Demus and his wife, Erma, and Michael Demus.
In addition to his parents, Nick was preceded in death by two of his children, Albert Demus and Ramona Demus; three sisters, Joan Demus, Theresa Demus and Madelaine (Demus) Schram; and one brother, Larry Demus.
Nick and wife Merelyn enjoyed all their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. His favorite time was when all of his family was together enjoying each other’s company.
Nick was a longtime business owner of Demus Market and Demus Italian Specialty Foods. He and his sister Nellie were in business for close to 55 years. Nick enjoyed all aspects of the business, and there wasn’t a day that he didn’t go without feeding a customer a wonderful Italian sausage sandwich, for which he was so famous, or letting anyone walk out hungry.
In 1946 after World War II, he was part of the Army Pack Mule Team in Japan. In addition, throughout his life one of his passions was baseball. Not only did he play the sport in the minor leagues in MI, AR, and NY, he truly enjoyed the coaching of his players during his American Legion baseball days.
Friends were received at Holy Spirit Catholic Church, Monongah Jan. 18 from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. A Mass of Christian burial was held at 10 a.m. Jan. 19 at Holy Spirit Catholic Church, Monongah, WV. Father Vincent was the celebrant. Interment followed at Shinnston Memorial Cemetery.
