Charles Force Deems (Dickinson Chronicles)

Scholarship
John Osborne and James W. Gerencser, eds., “Charles Force Deems,” Dickinson Chronicles, http://chronicles.dickinson.edu/encyclo/d/ed_deemsCF.html.
Charles Force Deems was born in Baltimore, Maryland on December 4, 1820, the son of George and Mary Roberts Deems.  The family was very pious - his mother was the daughter of a Methodist minister - and from a young age Deems exhibited signs of his future calling, once preaching temperance in public at the age of thirteen.  He entered Dickinson College in 1835 with the intention of a career in the law.  By the time he graduated in 1839, however, he was well on his way to joining the clergy and entered the Methodist ministry in Asbury, New Jersey.
