   Isaac L. Riley, farmer, Hillsboro, was born in Hamilton county, Ohio,
February 4, 1837, and was the third child of a family of nine children by
William H. and Mary Ann (Mondy) Riley. In the autumn of 1840 the family removed
from Hamilton county, Ohio, and made a home on Sec. 36, T. 20, R. 7, Richland
township, where his grandfather and grandmother Mondy and his father died, the
latter in 1871. Mr. Riley was married, January 29, 1857, to Mary Jane Riley, who
was born August 13, 1837. Only three of the eight children born to them are
living; the eldest died unnamed: Aldora, born February 5, 1859, died May 11,
1868; William Alonzo, February 14, 1861; George Shepard, April 11, 1864, died
August 4, 1865; Elizabeth Ann. August 12, 1866, died August 25, 1867; Mary
Josephine, July 18, 1869, died August 12, 1872; Effie Jane, April 22, 1874, and
Freddie Murray, December 12, 1878. Mr. Riley was enrolled March 20, 1865, in Co.
A, 154th Ind. Vols., for one year or during the war, and served in the
Shenandoah valley until mustered out at Stephenson, Virginia, August 20, 1865.
He was disbanded at Indianapolis. Mr. Riley joined the United Brethren church in
1848, at the age of fourteen; but seven years ago he was admitted into the order
of Odd-Fellows, whereupon the church, whose rules he had transcended, dismissed
him from its communion. He then united with the Campbellite church, of which his
wife has been a member thirty years. He was constable of Cain township two
years. He lived five years in Newtown, four years in Hillsboro, and four years
in Waynetown. In politics he is a democrat.
