• Notes

  Isaac Hershey, one of the very earliest settlers of the county, died at the old homestead in Lincoln township last Saturday, Oct 11. The news of his death will come as a severe shock to his many friends over the county, among whom he was held in the highest regard. Mr. Hershey was born in Canada, July 23, 1824, being at the time of his death 89 years, 2 months and 28 days old. In early manhood he removed to this country, enlisting in a Wisconsin regiment for service in the Civil war, remaining until hostilities ceased and was honorably discharged. With a "prairie schooner" he came to Kansas in 1871 and homesteaded the farm in Lincoln township upon which he lived at the time of his death. Few men have labored harder or more faithfully than Isaac Hershey for the reclamation of the wild country from the barren waste which he found in the early days of his settlement, and none have rejoiced more in the fulfillment of his early dreams. He was one of those pioneers whose life was broadened and ennobled by the trials and privations incident to the establishment of his home, and his death will be lamented. The remains were laid to rest in the Twelve Mile cemetry. source: Smith County Pioneer, Oct 16, 1913 In 1880 Isaac and his wife Sarah had a daughter Emma A, 19, born in Wis.; a son Isaac B, 9, born in Can.; and a son George A, 4, born in Kans. In 1900 it is Emma A Curtis. She has 2 dau, 1 son. Isaac B. has been married 8 years, no children. In 1910 George is still single.
