T. O. (Omer) Deaton, 34, Splendid Young Ranchman-Planter Helping to Make of Lovelady A More Progressive Community
Lovelady---T. O. (Thomas Omer) Deaton 34, son-in-law of Mr. and Mrs. Julius F. Jared, about whom a general story appears elsewhere in these page; is known to be one of the active and progressive young planters and ranchmen of this sector. He occupies and farms the 490 acres of land formerly owned by Mr. Jared, and observation and investigation find that he is carving out a magnificent success thereon. In addition to general crops, Mr. Deaton features some 35 head of milking Short Horn cattle, his herd having a good male, he says; upward of 50 O.I.C. hogs, and some 200 head of poultry. Civic , religious and public development efforts have his support and influence; it is known, and in the instant publicity advertising effort on behalf of his community, Mr. Deaton promptly became one of its enthusiastic sponsors. Tractor and mule power is employed by this young man in the cultivation of his crops, all of which are properly rotated and diversified, he reports. He and his wife, Mrs. Lavonia Jared Deaton have four interesting children: Thomas Odell; Oneita Dolores; Patricia Ann; and Mary Jo. Parents: Geo. G. and Mrs. Mittie Deaton, both living. Parents of Mrs. Deaton: Julius F. and Mrs. Dora Jared, both living. Mr. Deaton is a native of Pontotoc county, and so is Mrs. Deaton. Congratulations to these fine young people on their wonderful success thus far as planters, ranchmen and poultrymen, and may the succeeding years, each and everyone of them continue to be exceedingly kind to both of them!
