   JOHN Q. SERIGHT, Deputy Sheriff of Tipton County, was born in Decatur County,
Ind., October 19, 1851, where he remained until his fourteenth year. His father,
John Seright, was born in 1828; was married in 1848, in Decatur County, to Miss
Charlotte Stirgus, and in 1864 removed to Tipton County, locating at Windfall,
where for several years he engaged in the mercantile business, which he finally
sold out and invested his means in a farm, on which he resided until his death,
which occurred in 1873, April 13. He left behind him a family of two sons,
namely, our subject, and Lewis Gr., a resident of Windfall. The mother of our
subject died September 28, 1860. She was a member of the Methodist Episcopal
Church. John Q. Seright grew to manhood in Windfall, acquiring a good business
education from the graded school of the town. His first business experience was
as a clerk, after which he learned telegraphy, and after following that for some
four years, he returned to his first calling, which he pursued until 1876, when
he engaged in merchandising for three years, after which he again clerked until
1880, when he received the appointment of Deputy Sheriff of the county and
removed to Tipton. He was again appointed Deputy by Sheriff Leavell in 1882, and
is now discharging the duties of that position. He was married in Tipton County,
December 12, 1875, to Miss Julia R. Wright. They have two sons and two
daughters, namely, Lottie, Andrew D., Creola, Gamalia Earl. Mr. Seright is
politically a Republican. He is also a member of the order of Odd Fellows. He
expects when his term as Deputy expires to retire to his farm of eighty acres,
lying three miles east of Windfall.
