Author: History of Grundy County, 1914

Misener, Isaac Newton, Unless a man possesses characteristics which set him a 
little apart from the ordinary run of people, he is not likely to be elected 
to represent large interests in any body.  The supervisors of Grundy County 
are carefully selected for the people understand that upon their county board 
devolves much that is of interest to the county at large, and so try and get 
representatives who will not only protect them, but see that the taxes are 
expended wisely and intelligently.  One of the ablest men upon the county 
board today is Isaac Newton Misener, of Mazon Township, now serving in his 
second term.  He owns 160 acres of fertile land in Mazon Township, and another 
farm of 240 acres which he rents.  Mr. Misener specializes on breeding Belgian 
horses, and raises considerable stock which he feeds and ships.

Isaac Newton Misener was born in this township, August 4, 1863, a son of Henry 
F. and Margaret (Layman) Misener. He was reared to farming, and sent to the 
district schools.  When he was twenty-one years old he married Anna E. 
Jackson, born in Mazon Township, and they have two children:  Elsie M. 
Wilkinson and Gardis C.  A Democrat in politics,  Mr. Misener has been called 
upon to fill other offices aside from that of supervisor, as he was assessor 
for three years and a member of the school board for many years.  He is one of 
the most progressive farmers of his township, and operates upon an extensive 
scale.  For years he has been treasurer of the Grundy County Fair 
Association.  He was also one of the organizers of the Farmers Elevator 
Company at Mazon, Ill., and in 1912 he, with others, organized the First 
National Bank at Mazon, with a capital of $35,000, of which he is a director. 
A man of energy and foresight, he utilizes his natural faculties and 
successfully develops whatever he undertakes.
