Lancaster Intelligencer of July 17, 1849
At St. Louis, by cholera, ISAAC LIGHTNER.  He was formerly a member of the 
Legislature, from Allegheny county, Pa., where he took a conspicuous stand in 
favor of reform, and proved himself to be an able and most efficient 
legislator.  In all the relations of life, he stood high in the community, 
where he was well known and much beloved.------Although he had been engaged in 
business for several years in St. Louis, his family has always resided at 
Pittsburg, where he has paid annual visits, thus renewing his intercourse and 
acquaintance.  He was preparing for this annual re-union, when the fearful 
pestilence struck him down in the vigor of his days, when his manhood was 
ripening into an honorable old age.  Mr. Lightner was born in Lancaster 
county, Pa., and aged 57 years.  He has a brother in Baltimore, and numerous 
relatives there and in Lancaster - all of whom will regret this severe 
bereavement.
