Isaacs Succumbs to appendicitis THOUSANDSTICKS Vol. No. 10 MIDDLESBORO, KENTUCKY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1911O APPENDICITIS ___________________ Prominent Harlan County Lawyer Dead at Kings Daughters Hospital Was Wedded to Miss Minnie Sizemore Before Death ______________ G.G. Isaacs, a prominent lawyer of Harlan county and well-known in Middlesboro, died here at the Kings Daughters Hospital of appendicitis last Friday morning at one o'clock. Mr. Isaacs was brought from Harlan to Middlesboro on the Thursday evening train and an operation was performed some time that evening, but proved unsuccessful, he was too far gone to recover. Before the operation Mr. Isaacs was united in marriage with Miss Minnie Sizemore of Middlesboro, by Rev. J. V. Logan. Miss Sizemore had been for some time his stenographer. The deceased was a native of Russell county, Virginia. The remains were taken to Castlewood, Va., for burial, accompanied by a number of friends. [George Grant Isaacs Died September 8, 1911 in Middlesboro, Kentucky. His body was immediately taken by train to Russell County Virginia, and from the train station to the old Isaacs home place on Grassy Creek which was then the home of Jasper and Mattie (Martha) Moore, George's baby sister and her husband. George Grant Isaacs was buried in the Isaacs Cemetery on a ridge overlooking the home in which he, his father, and his grandfather had been born. He was buried on September 9, 1911. Of supreme irony after the bitter divorce action between George and his ex-wife Minnie Lee Elam Isaacs, his burial took place on her thirty-ninth birthday. John Kermit Isaacs, grandson of G.G.
