   SYLVESTER J. DE POY, farmer and teacher, is a native of Howard County, Ind.,
and was born September 9, 1852. He is the son of William and Catherine J. (King)
DePoy. His father was born in Virginia September 2, 1823, and removed to Fayette
County, Ohio, when he was quite young. He spent his youth on a farm in that
county and was there married, August 29, 1849, to Miss Catherine J. King, born
in Ohio, March 1, 1830. In 1850, he removed to Howard County, Ind., and
purchased a farm one mile north of Kokomo. In 1860, he sold this and purchased a
farm of sixty acres in Pulaski County, near Star City, where they have since
resided. He has a family of seven children, four of whom are residents of Tipton
County-Sylvester J., Fletcher J., Laura E., a teacher, and Ella J., a teacher.
The rest of the family reside at their home in Pulaski County, viz.: Susan E.,
Alice B. and Willie H. The subject of this sketch remained in Howard County
until he was eight years of age, when he removed with his parents to Pulaski
County. In 1873, he came to Tipton, where he attended the high school three
years, and has since been engaged in farming and teaching in Tipton County, and
has given good satisfaction in the teachers' profession. He is identified with
the Republican party and takes an active interest in the political issues of the
day.
