Isaac Pecore, for many years a successful farmer in Dallas Township, was
born in this township, Oct. 14, 1871, the son of Joseph and Mary (Ward)
Pecore, the pioneers. He received his education in the district schools and
learned farming from his father, also doing manual labor and working in the
woods for a while. In 1895 he bought 200 acres in Section 34, west, in his
native township. He cleared and broke 100 acres, erected a set of buildings
and did general farming there until 1906, when he traded the tract for 240
acres in Sections 29 and 32, west, in the same township, where he continued
general farming and dairying until 1920, when he rented the farm to his
sons, Merritt L. and Warren. He has served on the school board of his
district for three years, and is now road superintendent for the township.
Mr. Pecore was married March 13, 1891, to Lucy Grover, born Nov. 6, 1869,
