This book has no cover, and no index, and no author. I bought it on Ebay; it just has the insides, but it is full of Indiana biographies. I am not researching this family, just thought I would share. I do not know anymore about these families or these surnames. NOTE: I don’t know if there is any additional mention of this family in the book, it has no index. I do not want to sell this book. I am typing the biographies from it. Typed by Lora Radiches: Surnames in this biography are: Deckard, Robertson, Butcher, Smith, Creager, Wolf, Boone, Willis, Mason, FLOYD B. DECKARD represents the third generation of the Deckard family in Sullivan County. It is a name that has been spoken with honor and respect in this section of Indiana for many years. Mr. Deckard is a prosperous farmer, a man of substantial civic character, and has been honored by his fellow citizens with the office of county commissioner of the Third District. Mr. Deckard’s home is a farm of 142 acres, about nine miles southeast of Sullivan and near the Park School house. He is a son of George W. and Nancy (Robertson) Deckard. His father was born and reared on the same farm, being a son of John Wesley and Mahala (Butcher) Deckard. John Wesley Deckard moved to Sullivan County from Monroe County, Indiana. George W. Deckard spent his active life as a farmer and stock raiser. He and his wife are buried in the Hickory Cemetery in Sullivan County. They had six children: Alonzo, who married Eva Smith, is a farmer in Sullivan County; Floyd B.; ma, wife of Frank Creager, of Sullivan, Indiana; Anna, wife of Ora Wolf, of Sullivan County; Elsie, who married George Boone, of Sullivan County; and Tilda, wife of Cornie Willis, of Sullivan County. Floyd B. Deckard completed his education in the Park Schoolhouse, and after leaving school took up farm work. All during his school days he had an increasing share of duties and responsibilities on the home farm. When he was twenty-three years of age he bought his first land and later acquired his present farm, part of which was his father’s old place, and he devotes his time to farming and stock raising. In addition to farming Mr. Deckard has worked in the coalmines, and usually has spent part of every winter in such work. He is a Democrat in politics and has always been an influential factor in the party. The first time he was made a candidate for the office of county commissioner he made no special effort in the campaign, but in 1929 he entered heartily into the campaign and was elected by a good majority, taking his office on January 1, 1930. Mr. Deckard married, March 3, 1909, at Sullivan, Miss Ivy Boone, daughter of George P. and Belle (Mason) Boone, pioneers of Sullivan County, where George P. Boone was identified with farming until his death in 1906. His widow still survives and resides on the old Boone farm. To the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Deckard were born six children: George W., Neville E., Mildred L., Lester D., Frank B. and Raymond. All are living except Raymond, who died in infancy. Mr. and Mrs. Deckard are members of the Methodist Protestant Church at Hickory, and Mr. Deckard is serving on the board of trustees and served as superintendent of the Sunday School for a number of years.
