John M. Denton, son of David and Emeline Denton, was born in North Carolina March 21, 1847. He is of English-German descent, and is a nephew of the celebrated Geologist, William Denton of Philadelphia. When he was 3 years of age his parents moved to Washington Co., IN, settled on a farm of 80 acres, and there died. At the age of 10, he removed to Orange County and there he attended what school he could during the winter and worked at farming during the summer. In 1862, he came to Howard County and worked for Oliver Moulder until his enlistment, in 1864, in the Indiana Volunteer Infantry, serving under Gen. Thomas. For 12 months he served faithfully, and was mustered out at Louisville, KY. Since his return he has been chiefly engaged in the saw and planing mill business. In 1870, he married Miss Martha Stratton, who died in 1879, the mother of 2 boys and 2 girls. Mr. Denton is a Mason, an Odd Fellow, a member of the G.A.R., and of the Friends' Society.
