ISAAC WAMBOLD, farmer and carpenter, resident on sec. 28, Wheatland Tp., was 
born in Montgomery Co., Pa., 

Nov. 24, 1823.  His parents, John and Margaret (Gangler) Wambold, were natives 
of Pennsylvania and of 

German descent.  They went to the State of New York when the son was 18 months 
old, and remained under 

their personal supervision until the age of 14, when he became assistant of an 
elder brother, who had 

assumed control of the homestead farm.  He worked four years as a farmer, and 
at 18, was apprenticed to 

learn the carpenter's trade.  He only served a part of his time, but went into 
business for himself.  He 

was married Nov. 19, 1844, to Harriet J., daughter of Alonzo and Hannah Mace, 
and they have one child, 

Cornelia A., born April 30, 1852.  He went to Dodge Co., Wis., in the spring 
of 1854, where he followed 

his trace ten years.  In 1864, he came to Berrien Co., Mich., and bought a 
small farm, which he worked in 

connection with his profession, and afterward went to Ionia, thence to 
Wheatland Tp., where he "took up" 

160 acres of land under the homestead act, which had then just gone into 
effect.  He has since resided 

here, and during the time has been twice married, both wives dying shortly 
after marriage.  He was married 

to his present wife, Oct. 9, 1875.  She was Mrs. Sarah Schiedel, daughter of 
James C. and Elizabeth (Bear) 

Smith, and was born June 29, 1832, in Waterloo Co., ONtario, Can., of which 
county her parents were also 

natives.  She was an orphan at the age of seven years, and was cared for by an 
aunt until her marriage.

Mr. Wambold began to teach school in the winter of 1869, in Wheatland Tp., a 
profession he has since 

pursued to some extent.  He is independent in politics, has been Justice of 
the Peace 16 years, and served 

one term as County Superintendent of Schools.  He has been Township Clerk, and 
held nearly all the minor 

local offices.  He is now Justice of the Peace, Supervisor and School 
Inspector, and belongs to the 

Masonic Lodge at Big Rapids.
