   ISAAC HALSTEAD, an ex-hotel keeper at Lyons, but at present retired from
active pursuits, was born in the State of New York in the year 1811, and is one
of two surviving children in a family of eight, born to A. and M. M. Halstead,
who were also natives of New York. His father was a Democrat in politics, and an
honorable and upright citizen. He died in i860, preceded by his wife two years.
Isaac Halstead learned the tanner's trade of his father, but his life has been
passed in various pursuits, among which is farming, working at his trade,
milling, merchandising and keeping hotel. In 1858, he located in Newberry, where
for two years he carried on merchandising with a reasonable degree of success.
He is now living a retired life in Lyons, where he owns property to the value of
$3,000. Miss Elizabeth M. Terwilliger became his wife in 1833, and four of their
ten children are yet living—Martha E., David N., Sarah C. and Abraham M. Mr. and
Mrs. Halstead are members of long standing in the Christian Church, and as the
shades of the sunset of life fall on their heads, they can look backward over a
life of usefulness, without remorse or regret.
