ISAAC LINCOLN.-Among those prominent in the banking and financial circles of South Dakota is Isaac Lincoln, president of the State Bank of Aberdeen, vice-president of the Aberdeen National Bank and president of the First National Bank of Webster, Day county. Mr. Lincoln is a native of the state of Maine, and is descended on both sides from colonial stock, his ancestors having come to New England in 1636, settling on Cape Cod. Mr. Lincoln was born in Brunswick, Maine, and is a son of Dr. John D. and Ellen (Fessenden) Lincoln, who were likewise born and reared in Maine, where the respective families were early established. He secured his education in the public schools of his native town and in Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts. Shortly thereafter he came to the territory of Dakota, where he engaged in farming and stock raising until 1886, when he located in Aberdeen. Besides his banking interests he is engaged in the real-estate business and in farming, having one of the largest stock and grain farms in the county, which he personally supervises. In politics he is a Republican, and fraternally is identified with the Masonic order.
