William Deane, the father of Mrs. Susan Violette, was born in Virginia, came to Kentucky, and first located in Clark County, but afterward moved to Gallatin. He was in the battle of the Thames, and was for a number of years magistrate and high sheriff of Gallatin County. Dr. Culvan F. Violette now resides in Gallatin County, in retirement, having relinquished the practice of medicine. Dr. Jerry D. Violette was reared in Gallatin County, to which county he was taken at the age of five. At the age of twenty-five he began the study of medicine under his father, and graduated from the Ohio Medical College, Cincinnati, in 1881, beginning practice the same year at Williamstown, Ky., where he is still profitably employed. January 15, 1884, he married Miss Futha Bell Carder, daughter of William F. Carder. The Doctor is a Royal Arch Mason, and also an Odd Fellow, and has passed all the chairs in both orders; is also a member, and one of the founders, of the Grant County Medical Society.
