[Dunster:147] Horace Bemis, is a lawyer in Alleghany Co., New York.

[Historical gazetteer of Steuben County, New York, Millard Fillmore Roberts, 1891, p. 48-9]
Horace Bemis was born in Windham county, Vt., in September, 1827. His parents were the children of participants in the struggle for independence. Of Puritan stock, he was the eighth descendant on his mother's side from Henry Dunster, first president of Harvard College, Cambridge, Mass., who was inaugurated August 27, 1640, and who held the position until 1654. Having learned the trade of saddler and harness-maker, in order that he might be self-supporting, Mr. Bemis moved from his home in Dummerston, Vt., to Saratoga, N. Y. Here he worked at his trade, and with the money thus earned, afterward attended the High School at Brattleboro, Vt., and thereafter taught school and engaged in the study of law. He moved to Adrian, Mich., where he was addmitted to practice. He he became the intimate friend and associate of Thomas M. Cooley, then a young lawyer, but afterward Chief Justice. In 1850 Mr. Bemis came to Hornellsville, and taught school for several winters, and practiced whenever an opportunity offered. He was a member of the legislature fro two terms, representing the then third assembly district of Steuben county in the assembly in 1863 and 1865. No man had a more natural aptitude for the profession of law than he; and no man ever exhibited more zeal and industry in the preparation of a case in which he was interested. He liked the practice of criminal law, where his quick perceptions and his ingenuity in dealing with facts made him very successful, and his masterly eloquence rarely failed to move a jury. He was the associate and peer of David Rumsey, John K. Hale, William M. Hawley, Washington Barnes, John Maynard, Guy H. McMaster, all of whom were bright ornaments of the Steuben county bar. Mr. Bemis was twice married, first to Miss Caroline Bruce, who died in 1867. In 1868 he married Miss Sarah Washburn.
