His father was proprietor of a saw-mill, which was operated by himself and sons; our subject also learned the milling trade. George Deaton was united in marriage March 9, 1856, to Miss Frances C. Fortney, a daughter of Jacob and Ann (Knoops) Fortney, the Knoops being one of the oldest and most prosperous families in Central Ohio, and many of the name are still living in Miami and adjoining counties. In March, 1863, Mr. Deaton came with his family to Kosciusko County, Indiana, and settled in Clay Township on the farm which is now occupied by his son Jacob. Twelve years later he purchased the farm where his widow and children still make their home. To Mr. and Mrs. Deaton were born the following children - William Sabin, Jacob O., Mary B. and John F., natives of Ohio, and Samuel Sherman, Ulysses S. G., Cyrus B. and Charles G., born in Clay Township, Kosciusko County, all of whom have obtained good classical educations. Jacob married Miss Mealey Cauffman, of Kosciusko, and, as above stated, lives on the old homestead. Sherman and Grant have attended the high school at Warsaw, and Sherman completed his classical course at Fort Wayne. Both of them are thinking of espousing the legal profession. In politics Mr. Deaton was a prominent local politician, and strongly advocated the Republican cause. Many persons will yet remember the eloquent speeches made when a political campaign was in progress. So great was his popularity Source: Biographical & Historical Record of Kosciusko Co., IN.; Lewis Publishing Co., 1887
