William G. Cutler's History of the State of Kansas; Johnson County, 
Pt.8. 

ISAAC O. PICKERING, attorney at law, was born in Freeport, Harrison Co., 
Ohio, February 18, 1842, and was reared in Fulton County, Ill.  He came 
to Kansas June 1, 1859 and farmed for a short time in Johnson County, 
and then in Woodson County.  During the winter of 1860-61 he taught 
school at Winterset, Iowa.  In November, 1861, he enlisted in the Ninth 
Kansas Cavalry, Company F.  In 1862 was promoted to Staff Sergeant, and 
in 1864 to First Lieutenant and although he held a regimental office was 
principally employed on the staff of Gen. REYNOLDS, serving in all four 
years. After the war he engaged in the mercantile business at 
Leavenworth, and at the same time carried on a livery business at 
Olathe, continuing both only a short time; he then engaged in the hotel 
business at Olathe in company with J. T. WEAVER, following that until 
1869, when he sold out and purchased 320 acres of land in Labette County 
and engaged in farming, losing in four years all he had accumulated 
heretofore.  During 1867-68 and '69 Mr. P., in connection with his 
business pursuits also read law, and was admitted to the bar in Labette 
County at the District Court in February, 1872.  In 1873 he returned to 
Olathe and was variously engaged until the session of the Legislature of 
1875, when he was elected Assistant Chief Clerk of the House.  At the 
expiration of his official term, he returned to Olathe and entered the 
law office of Gov. John P. ST. JOHN, with whom he is still associated. 
He is also engaged in farming, and is interested in mining enterprises 
in Colorado.  He was elected attorney of the city of Olathe in the spring 
of 1878-79-80, and Mayor of the city in 1881 for a term of two years. 
Mr. Pickering is a member of the Executive Committee of the State 
Temperance Union.
