Remer, William T., was born in Benton, May 15, 1824, the son of Aaron and Phebe Remer, who are elsewhere mentioned
in this work. Although his career has been devoted to the farm, Mr. Remer has nevertheless been much in public
life. He was educated in the district schools and attended the Albany Academy. He was one of the organizers of
the Republican Party in Yates County, and has ever since been identified with its fortunes. Commencing in 1859
he served three years as sheriff of the county. In 1863 he was appointed provost-marshal for this congressional
district, and held that position to the end of the war. He has also been supervisor of the town of Benton. In 1849
Mr. Remer married Mary H., daughter of Anthony Trimmer, of Benton. Four children have been born to them, three
of whom are living.
