Isaac W. Stathem
Isaac W. Stathem, of the firm of Isaac and David Stathem, grocers in Cheviot, succeeded their father in this business, opening out on a somewhat more extensive scale, in the year 1865. His father, David E. Stathem, came (page 306) to Green township in 1817, and was a teacher for a number of years, during which time the public school system not being in vogue, a general interest was awakened in the cause of education by a private school he conducted with great success, having for his patronage many of the first citizens of Green township. He kept grocery afterwards for a period of about thirty years, beginning in 1824. He died in 1853. He came from New Jersey, and is, probably, of English origin; was born May 12, 1792. His sons were soldiers in the late war.
