Notes
1981 book:
In his youth, Isaac worked as a farm laborer. Later he worked as a janitor, contractor, 
and gardener.  For several years, Isaac was in a farming partnership with his father 
Benjamin.
Harriet was a dressmaker.
	Isaac left Pennsylvania and settled in Lake Forest, Ill., outside Chicago. In 
1887, he moved to Evanston, Ill., where he became very well known. It is not clear 
why Isaac left Pennsylvania; economic woes are one possibility, but also to be 
considered is the fact that he left his sisters to take care of their father's farm and the 
fact that his family, members of the Religious Society of Friends, were not very happy 
that Isaac's wife was not a Friend. In addition, Harriet had been previously married, 
but it is not known whether she was divorced or a widow; if the former were true it 
would be an additional source of family consternation. Isaac's sister Jane kept a diary 
of her life (see 1E967); on the day Isaac left she made an entry stating that he had 
left for Chicago and never again mentioned him in the diary. There may have been 
involved many factors that will never be known.
	Isaac died at his home, 1027 Chicago Avenue in Evanston, Ill., of liver 
cancer. Funeral services were held July 10, 1918, the Rev. George Whiteside of 
Evanston officiating.
