MARION TOWNSHIP, JENNINGS COUNTY INDIANA
Miss Helen Lewis, whose mother was a Deputy, spent many hours copying the inscription on each stone. Some were very difficult to read. There may be mistakes, but that is understandable. I do not know the date she did this work, but am attempting to complete the task in the year 1999. Some of the graves have only field stones and no one knows who was buried in that space.
In the 1940's, a fund was established to provide maintenance for the cemetery. Miss Almira Gruber, daughter of John and Martha (Deputy) Gruber, worked tirelessly for this project. Many gave their support by donating labor and money. The grounds are now beautifully cared for and by continuing our efforts, they will remain so. My heartfelt thanks to all who have helped and are continuing to contribute.
The Mt. Zion Cemetery Association
was set up June 13, 1946, it created an permanent Endowment Fund
to be made up of gifts donated for the purpose of the upkeep of the
Cemetery. This fund is still in existance in 2008, and still provides
for the care and maintaniance of the Mt. Zion Methodist Church and
Cemetery. The

This is a picture of the home of Arista Frank Deputy
built in 1878 in Marion Township, Jennings County, Indiana
as it looks in 2008, the home is cared for today by Marie
(Johnson) Bridges and her family.
The following two pictures are actually one large long one, taken
August 27, 1922 at a Deputy Family Reunion
Solomon Deputy married
Sally Deputy, his second cousin, about the year 1803. They were
married in Delaware-near Dover and immediately moved to Virginia,
near Parkersburg. They and their household goods were transferred
over the Alleghany Mountains to Virginia in a two-wheeled cart,
drawn by an old mare named "Shin" (the writer has in
her possession a sugar box, which was given the bride by her
mother in law and which came in the cart.)
They moved to Jennings County,
Indiana, in 1810. Solomon died in 1816. Leaving his wife with six
small children-the youngest 6 months old-in the wilderness among
Indiana, bears, wolves, etc. Sally was a brave, industrious, good
woman, and raised all her children and kept her farm. She in her
old age lived with her daughter, Esther (the writers mother) and
died there nearly four years after her daughter's death. Her
father's name was John. She was about 74 years of age when
she died.
When Solomon died, the country
being new, there were no saw mills, or nails. For his coffin, his
neighbors sawed (with a cross cut saw) a log into the proper
length, then lengthwise and with their "broad axes"
hewed out a cavity large enough to contain the body, and after
placing the body in, they fastened the two parts together with
wooden pins, driven in holes bored by an auger. The hearse was a
sled, drawn by one horse. Aquilla Robertson, my father, then a
boy-riding the horse to the grave, as the roads were rough and
perhaps stumpy.
Solomon and Sally Deputy's Children, viz:
Sylvester, born September 21, 1805 in Virginia
William, born September 5, 1807 in Virginia
Esther, born August 21, 1809 in Virginia
Joshua, born June 4, 1811 in Jennings County, Indiana
Polly, born September 24, 1813
