Isaac N. Straw, farmer and stock raiser, section 32, was born in Wyandot County, 
Ohio, October 27, 1836. Jason Straw, his father, who was a native of Vermont, 
went to Ohio when a young man, and settled in Wyandot County, of which he was 
an early settler. He was married in DeKalb County, Indiana, June 6, 1857, to Miss 
Ann Eliza Shock, a native of Tuscarawas County, Ohio, and a daughter of Peter 
Shock. There are ten children by this marriage Sarah E., (now Mrs. Homer Davis), 
Caroline, Charles E., Viola, Orin A., Milton O., Amanda, Homer A., Henry F. and 
Herman. Mr. Straw moved to Missouri in 1869, and located on the farm where he 
now resides. He has 160 acres of good land, all in cultivation with improvements. 
His orchard contains 175 apple and 400 peach trees, about 200 of which are fine 
budded, and 100 cherry trees, with some smaller fruits. He enlisted in 1864 in 
the one hundred day service, in Company C, 152d Ohio National Guards, and was a 
drummer of his company; and after serving his time he was discharged in the fall 
of 1864. Mr. Straw takes more than an ordinary interest in educational matters 
as indicated by his being elected and serving as a member of the school board for 
nine years in succession.
