   Millard S. Deth, farmer, Veedersburg, is the son of John C. and Rosanna
(Walker) Deth. The former is a native of Ohio, and emigrated to Fountain county
with his parents, Aaron and Jemima Deth, in 1828, and settled in Van Buren
township on Dry Run. In 1830 moved near Coal creek. Aaron Deth, father of John
C, was a pensioned soldier of the revolution. John C. was born in 1812, and died
in 1876. His wife is a native of Ohio, and daughter of John and Elizabeth
Walker, early pioneers of Fountain county. The former died in 1836, and was the
first person buried in the graveyard at Cool Springs church. The Walker family
emigrated from Virginia to Ohio, then to Indiana. John C. Deth raised a family
of six children: Elizabeth, Jemima, John W., Aaron W. (deceased), Millard S.,
and Allen. The first, third and last live in Fountain county. He was an active
member of the Christian church known as Disciples. He was a farmer, and for a
short time he engaged in the saw-mill business. By his death Van Buren township
lost another of her respected citizens, and Fountain county a prominent pioneer.
His wife now lives on the old homestead with her son, Millard S., who was
married in 1876 to Elizabeth Campbell, daughter of Andrew and Caroline Campbell,
both natives of Ohio. By this marriage they have two children, Everett E. and
Herbert C. He has a farm of 150 acres, under fence and fairly stocked. He was
educated in the pioneer schools of this county. In politics he is a republican
of the first rank. In business he proceeds with much caution and care.
