Biography
John was born in 1821.He passed away in 1896 and is buried on Old Mitchell Sanford Dekle's place in Candler County, Ga., 6 miles North of Metter, Ga.[1]
In the 1860 Federal Census he is listed as a farmer.[2] From Ansel: "John was nick-named ‘Squire’ by his father, George Dekle, so that people could differentiate between his son and father, the Immigrant, when the name John Dekle was mentioned. The ‘Squire’ nick-name, John carried throughout his life. He ran a general store at the crossroads about nine miles north and west of Metter, Ga. In this store was a Post Office of which John was Post Master and, at the time, the store and immediate area near the store and Post Office were known as Dekle, GA. The children that were born in that area were listed as born in Dekle GA. Although the store, Post Office and Dekle, GA., do not remain today, there are quite a number of people still living that list their place of birth as Dekle, GA." John and his wife, Mary, are buried in the Dekle Cemetery which is located about five miles north of Metter, GA. This Cemetery is maintained by contributions from the descendants of John and Mary which are taken at the family reunions.[3]
