The History of Hendricks County (Chicago: Interstate Publishing, 1885)--Washington Township, page 744

Seth T. Huron is a native of Hendricks County, Ind. born in Washington Township, June 26, 1850, a son of Benjamin A. and Katherine Huron. He was reared and educated in his native county, and for about four years was one of its corps of schoolteachers. In 1872 he went to Atchison, Kas., where he was employed as clerk in a store two years, and in 1874 returned to Hendricks County. He has devoted his attention to agricultural pursuits and now owns a fine farm near Avon. In the spring of 1884 he was elected Justice of the Peace, and assumed the duties of his office the following November. Mr. Huron was married Aug. 2, 1876, to Mary E. Farmer, daughter of David Farmer, formerly of Hendricks County, now of Putnam County, Mo. To them have been born four children--Mary E., born May 3, 1877; Frank P., born June 16, 1880, died March 16, 1881; Irma R., born April 30, 1882, and Flora F., born Dec. 23, 1884. Mr. and Mrs. Huron are members of the Methodist Episcopal church, and he is serving his second year as Superintendent of the Sunday-school, at Wesley Chapel. His parents, who were among the first settlers of the county, still live on the farm they entered from the Government, more than fifty years ago. Their children, nine in number, have all been school-teachers (as was also the father), and are now all scattered, from Florida to Kansas, leaving the old folks "alone in the old house at home."
