DAVID DEMOTTE was born in Pike County, Ind., February 13, 1832, and is the
next youngest in a family of six children born to Lawrence and Phoebe (Banty)
Demotte, who were natives of Kentucky, and came to this State and county
about 1825, and made their first settlement about a mile south of our
subject's present place of abode.  The mother died when David was quite young.
After a time the father's mind became enfeebled and he was a source of great
care to David and a younger brother, who had remained at home.  Owing mainly
to this our subject received a limited education.  October 19, 1859, his
marriage with Sarah Green was solemnized, and to their union six children
have been born, of which these five are now living:  Martha, John (who
married Nancy Stillwell), Charlotte, Elizabeth and Sallie.  By occupation
Mr. Demotte has always been a farmer, and has been quite successful.  He owns 
248 acres of well improved land.  He and wife are members of the Presbyterian
Church, and in politics he has always been a Republican, and enjoys the 
respect and esteem of all who know him.
