until his decease, in 1852: she still resides there with her son.  Issac
B. learned the trade of carriage-maker and worked at it several years.
He clerked in a grocery one year, and in 1859 formed a partnership with

of Urbana, having been a member of the Council, and its President in
1879.  He is a member of the I.O.O.F. He married in 1855, Martha F.,
daughter of William Sampson: they are both members of the Grace
Methodist Episcopal Church.  Formerly Second Methodist Episcopal Church,
