Hi, I saw the website and noticed you guys don't have the flag of Decatur county I am a resident in the county and I have a photo of the flag if you guys wanted to use it.
Troy Robertson, 8 November 2025
The flag is white with the seal centered, and narrow yellow-light blue-green vertical stripes on the fly. it can be seen at https://www.facebook.com/photo.php, the county’s presence in Facebook.
The seal's diameter is roughly 4/5ths of the flag's height; the seal's rim is
white and very wide, about 1/8th of the flag's height, its outer edge separated
from the flag background by a double black stroke, very wideset, and the inner
edge is singly lined but doubly thick. Arched at the top side of the rim the
inscription "Decatur County", set in light Souvenir capitals and the date "1845"
at the bottom, set also in Souvenir but bold and not arched.

The seal is divided horizontally into two halves by a relatively thick amber
diameter line: The upper part is a naturalistic riverine scene, with a raccoon
perched on a fallen tree in the foreground, the animal in black and white and
the trunk in brown on a patch of green ground, everything with black details; in
foreground an expanse of river water in light blue and a green tree line on the
far shore, all against a white sky; on the river at the fly side a black and
white motorboat seen in profile with its bow facing the hoist, and at the hoist
side a large brown rock or cliff with black details.
The lower half of
the seal has its own (half)rim, red with white text set in sans serif capitals
and the remaining half disk is white, divided in three identical sectors by
amber radius lines: Each of these sectors has a caption on the red rim, each
arched and centered on its own third, reading, from hoist to fly,
Parsons, Decaturville, and
Scotts Hill; inside each sector tokens of each town's
landmarks and/or main activities – respectively, from the center outwards:
for Parsons, a red
cross, a heavy duty mining
dumper truck, drawn in black, and
a factory, drawn in brown. The middle sector, for Decaturville, shows two
books, the scales of Justice, and a stylized Greek portico (Unesco-style), all drawn in brown
(but the books with additional black
lining). For Scotts Hill, at the fly side, three party balloons – amber, red,
and light blue, tied with black strings gathered at the far end; this element
takes up the pointed part of the sector with the remaining area filled up with
the two other elements set side-by-side (not stacked, as in the other two
towns) – namely a tree, with green foliage and brown trunk, and a tractor in
green and black, seen sideways.
