Isaac N. Denham, farmer and stock raiser, section 32, originally from Barren 
County, Kentucky, was born August 4, 1840. His father, Joseph M. Denham, was 
also a Kentuckian by birth and grew to manhood there, subsequently being 
married to Mary A. Parks, of the same state. In 1844 the family moved to 
Missouri and located in Osage Township, this county. Isaac N. was reared here. He 
was married December 29, 1864, to Miss Melissa J. M. Garland, a daughter of R. C.

and surrendered at Warsaw. He participated in the fight at Lone Jack and a 
number of skirmishes. After his surrender he was in the Union service in the 
Enrolled Missouri Militia. After the service he settled on a farm and has since 
devoted his time to farming and stock raising. Mr. and Mrs. Denham have a family 
of four children: Richard G., Mary F., Lula Alice and Cora Edna. They lost one child
