He was born in Ontario, on the 18th of October, 1885, a son of P. H. and

cultural pursuits for many years and is now living retired in Martintown,
a highly respected and esteemed citizen.
	Frederick F. MacDermid was educated in the public schools at Martin-

1907. Prior to that he received the LL. B. degree from the University of
Manitoba. He was admitted to the Saskatchewan bar in 1908 and com-
menced practice at Saskatoon, in partnership with J. D. Ferguson, the
firm being known as Ferguson & MacDermid. Subsequently his brother,
extended mention of whom is made elsewhere in this work, was admitted
to the firm, and the name was changed to its present form, Ferguson, Mac-
Dermid & MacDermid.
	In September, 1920, Mr. MacDermid was married to Miss Margaret
Vickers of Chicago, Illinois, a daughter of John H. and Florence (Tench)
Vickers, natives of Toronto. For many years Mr. Vickers was president of
the American Express Company, with headquarters in Chicago. He made

circles there. His death occurred in February, 1918. Mrs. Vickers sur-
vives her husband and is making her home in New York. Mrs. MacDermid

	The political allegiance of Mr. MacDermid is given to the Liberal party
and he is a firm believer in the principles of that party as factors in good
government.  His religious faith is manifest in his membership in the
Presbyterian church and he is a zealous worker in its behalf. Along the

Bar Association, the Saskatchewan Bar Association and the Saskatoon
Bar Association. He is president of the Saskatoon Club and was president
