STEPHEN W. ISAACS farmer and miller, P.O. Bristol, was born 
in Cecil county, Maryland, February 22, 1852, and is a son 
of Lewis S. and Mary Ellen (Jeanes) Isaacs, the father a 
native of Pennsylvania and the mother of Wisconsin.  They 
were of German and English descent.  His father was a coach 
maker, and carried on business for twenty-five years in 
Chester county and at New London.  His family consisted of 
five children, all of whom grew to maturity.  Stephen is the 
oldest.  He was reared in Pennsylvania, and attended the 
common schools in Chester county.  His earliest work was 
with his father at coach-making.  He subsequently learned 
the miller's trade at Plymouth, Montgomery county, and 
worked for a time at that, after which he went on the 
railroad for a short time.  He then went west and again 
worked at milling, which has been his main business.  In 
1871 he bought his present farm and mill in Falls township, 
and since 1880 has run the farm and mill.  He was married in 
1877 to Harriet, daughter of James C. King.  She is of 
English descent.  They have one child, Lizzie May.  Mr. 
Isaacs is a member of the I. O. O. F. and is a republican.
