        Isaac Townsend, formerly the well known dairyman near Cheviot,
came from Springborough,
Warren county, where he was born in the year 1829; lived for a while in
Clinton county, Ohio, where he
kept a grocery. In 1860 he started his dairy, and at first began the
business on a small scale, but
afterwards increased it to larger dimensions. In 1880 he sold out his
interest in the business to his
brother, since which time he has been a farmer. He lives near Cheviot,
and is nicely situated on what is
known as the Rose Hill farm. Mr. Townsend began life a poor boy, and was
bound out until sixteen years
of age, but by industry and perseverance has been successful in securing
for himself finally a good
homestead. He is a Quaker.
