William W. Deming, well known in business circles of Meriden as a wholesale baker, was born in New Britain, Connecticut, September 5, 1873, a son of Blinn F. and Ella Deming, both of whom are still residents of Meriden, to which place they removed September 6, 1879. In this city William W. Deming attended school until he was about sixteen years old, when he began to drive a wagon for his father, who was a baker. He was continuously associated with his father in business, with the exception of two years, until October, 1911, when he established his own business. At first he did all the work himself and a one-horse wagon was sufficient to make deliveries, but he now has eight employes and three big automobile trucks. He has concentrated his attention entirely upon the baking of bread, every loaf of which is wrapped in waxed paper. The large, light and airy building in which the bakery is located was erected in 1912 and was especially designed to provide the most sanitary conditions possible. At every point in the making of the bread, great stress is laid upon cleanliness and the high quality of the finished product is further ensured by the use of only the best materials. The bread is sold extensively in Meriden, Yatesville [Yalesville?], Wallingford, Milldale and many other places.

  On the 22d of January, 1892, Mr. Deming was married in New York city to Miss Etta M. Tymeson, who, however, was a resident of Meriden. They have three living children, namely: Gladys, Doris and Marion, aged respectively eleven, five and four years. A daughter, Madeline, died at the age of fourteen years.

  Mr. Deming is a republican in politics but has confined his activity in public affairs to the exercise of his right of franchise. He is a member of the Modern Woodmen of America, and his life has conformed to a high standard of morality in his business dealings as well as in his other activities. His residence is pleasantly situated on Orient street and is an attractive modern home.
