In 1898, J.D. Deitz and Virginia, his wife, conveyed to their sons, J.W. Deitz and E.E. Deitz a tract of 120 acres of land in Nicholas County.
J.W. Deitz and E.E. Deitz, twin brothers, were well known in the public life of the county.
E.E. Deitz was the first mayor and postmaster of Richwood. His sons are prominent in the business life of that city. Oakford Deitz is assistant superintendent of Nicholas County schools.
In 1884, the heirs of A.S. Skaggs, deceased, conveyed 160 acres of land in Wilderness District to George W. Deitz. Nathan Deitz and Wallace Deitz are named as citizens of Mt. Lookout community.
