Memorials
The Art moderne-style Carillon tower in Carillon Historical Park, titled Deeds Carillon, was built in 1942, funded by his wife Edith Walton Deeds and was designed to commemorate the Deeds family. When the tower was built, each of 23 bells was inscribed with the name of a family member, with the "silent" bells bearing the names of deceased family members and ringing bells cast with the names of family members then living. Today, with 57 bells, the carillon is Ohio's largest. The historical elements of the park were the brainchild of Deeds himself. Also, the primary athletic field at Denison University, Deeds Field, was named in his honor.
Deeds died at his home, Moraine Farm, in 1960. He is buried at Woodland Cemetery, Dayton, Ohio.
