   GEORGE F. ISGRIG, attorney, was born in Crawford County, Mo., on the 26th day
of November, 1859. There, upon the banks of the Cotowa, young Isgrig was reared
on a farm, plowing corn in summer, fishing and hunting through the long autumn,
and attending school at the primitive log schoolhouse during the short, rigorous
Missouri winter. He was a studious reader of the St. Louis Globe, the only
Republican newspaper taken in the neighborhood. In 1877, he came to Tipton and
attended the high school, and by close application to his studies completed the
full four years' course of that institution in eight or ten months, and
graduated in June, 1879. In the same month, he removed to Kokomo, and entered
upon the study of the law, pursuing his studies for three years, under the
excellent tutelage of J. Fred Vaile. While in Kokomo, during the campaign of
1880, he organized and became the President of the First Voters' Republican
Club, containing 184 members, and during this campaign made his maiden efforts
from the stump. In the spring of 1882, he came back to Tipton and was an
aggressive candidate for Prosecuting Attorney of the Thirty-sixth Judicial
District until the Central Committees declared that Howard County, not Tipton,
was entitled to the candidate. Then he withdrew from the race, and gave his
support to the successful candidacy of Cassius C. Shirley. In February, 1882, he
was married to Miss Ella Small. Mr. Isgrig is at present practicing his
profession in Tipton, and is Deputy Prosecuting Attorney for Tipton County.
