County]. Beaver Creek.

WALTER DEPP settled on the creek below the Sam Oldham farm.  He was a 
son of Peter Depp of Fallen Timber.  He married a Miss Burks, and raised 
a family of eleven children.  Gertrude, their oldest child married Black 
Hatchett of Blue Spring Creek.  Peter is single at the present writing.  
John B. married Miraba Reneau.  Mary, now dead, married Richard Slemons.  
Dick, (now dead) never married, died in Arizona.  Adolph married Bettie 
Bagby; Fannie married Franklin Young; Lou married Willie Bagby; Joel 
maried Jennie Bagby; Raymond is single; Walter, who is dead, married 
Jennie Anderson.  Two of Gertrude's children are all that I have any 
acquaintance with.  Clarence, their oldest child, and Thomas.  Clarence 
is a leading lawyer of the Glasgow bar.  He has served several terms as 
Deputy Sheriff and High Sheriff of Barren County; all the time the law 
allowed. He has been rather unfortunate in the losing of two wives.  He 
first married Corilde Mansfield, a daughter of George Mansfield, 
formerly of Glasgow, Ky., but now of Texas.  His second wife was Miss 
Lela T. Harlow. His present wife Miss Lizzy McCandless.
	By strict economy and close attention to business Mr. Hatchett has 
become a capitalist.
	Thomas was closely connected with the Sheriff's office for several 
years.  He also, like his brother, Clarence, was a good economist. He 
married Miss Nellie Snoddy, a daughter of the lamented George Snoddy of 
Glasgow. They are living near the noted Bearwallow farm in the northern 
part of the county.  They own a landed estate which is self sustaining.  
Its rents would more than support their family and is worth one hundred 
dollars per acre.
	John B., the second son of Walter Depp, raised a family of two 
boys and four girls.  His oldest daughter called "Pitsy" married Wade 
Rowland, a son of George Rowland of Fallen Timber Creek.  The last I 
knew of him he was out west, identified with, and held a lucrative 
position in a bank.  His oldest son Tip was out West and in possession 
of a large ranch.  His other son Owen had taken up the business of 
instructor and died while teaching high school.  Lizzey married a son of 
Dr. Perry Allen, a dentist of the long ago.  One son was born to them 
and the mother died regretted and lamented by all who knew her.  The 
child lived and was given the name of "Depp Allen," and is being raised 
by its maternal grand parents.  Miss Nettie B. has not made any 
matrimonial contract that we are aware of.  She is principally a self-
made girl and independent of the other sex.  She has been engaged in 
school teaching for many years and stands at the head of her profession.  
She has served one term as Superintendent of Schools in Barren County.  
Lilly, the youngest daughter was teacher at one time.  She is happily 
married to --- Matthews, and living on a farm which affords all the 
necessities of life.
	Mr. Depp represented the County of Barren in the Legislature at 
one time.  he has been identified with the Sheriff's office by 
appointment at different times.
	Adolph Depp, another son of Walter Depp, held the office of 
Sheriff of Barren County one term, and I think served as deputy a term 
or two.  He is now engaged in farming a few miles north of Glasgow and 
in a prosperous condition.  He has a son who is practicing, or preparing 
to practice, denistry.
	Of the other members of the Walter Depp family I know but little.  
They are located in different parts of the country and generally engaged 
in farming.  I see Peter, the oldest son, occasionally on the streets of 
Glasgow.  He appears to be bent under the pressures of age.
	William Depp, a brother of Walter, married Ann Bailey, a daughter 
of William Bailey of the Mount Vernon country seven miles southeast of 
Glasgow, near the Burkesville road.  He owned a farm on Beaver Creek 
below his brother Walter's farm.  Three children were raised by them, 
two sons and one daughter.  The daughter married Andrew Johnson, the son 
of Henry Johnson, formerly of Tennessee.  She has long since been dead.  
The youngest son is also dead, leaving only one of the family, James, of 
the firm of Depp and Morris of Glasgow, Kentucky.  This family including 
the parents, and two children filled premature graves.
	Mr. Johnson has been, and probably is now, a deputy clerk or 
Notary Public and serves the people in that capacity, in that section of 
the country.
