Leota is in Scott County, Indiana, between Vienna and Salem. From 1830 to 1888, my family owned a farm here. My grandfather, Lawrence Morticle Suddeth, was born here but couldn’t find the farm years later with my father. If anyone knows the location, I would love to know. July 1863, Moran’s Raider passed through here, stealing horses and forcing local folks to cook for them.
