	CHARLES DETER, a general farmer and representative citizen of Portage Township, is a member of one of the old and substantial families of this section.  He was born on the Deter Homestead, situated in Section 8, Portage Township, this county, Apr. 25, 1874, and is a son of Peter and Mary Jane (Thomas) Deter.      The father of Mr. Deter was born in Pennsylvania, a son of Jacob Deter.  The latter moved to Richland County and the 1836 brought his family to Portage Township, Hancock County, and bought the present farm from Jasper Franks, who was made the entry.  Jacob Deter and wife died on this farm.  Here the father of Charles Deter was reared from the age of eleven years and  spent his life, his death occurring on Jan. 11, 1900.  He was widely known and a highly respected man.  He married Mary Jane Thomas, who was born east of Findlay, in Hancock County, a daughter of Jacob Thomas, who moved to Pleasant Township when she was eleven months old, and she was reared there.  Mr. and Mrs. Deter had five children, namely: Alice, Ida, Laura, Clifford and Charles.  Laura is the wife of W. A. Wiseley of Vanlue, O.  The Deter family own collectively 280 acres of some of the finest farm land in Portage Township, their possessions individually being as follows:  The mother owns the homestead of 160 acres; Charles owns forty acres, in Section 8; Clifford owns forty acres; and Ida and Alice together own forty acres.  The whole farm is managed and operated by Charles and Clifford Deter.  They carry on general farming and are numbered with the successful agriculturists of this section.  They are not very active in politics but both take a good citizen's interest in public matters.
