Isaac Wilson
Isaac Wilson, merchant, Deerfield, was born in Liverpool, Columbiana Co., Ohio, in 1821, son of Isaac and Sarah (Givens) W'ilson. He came to Deerfield in 1840, and took charge of the business which he has since continuously and successfully carried on. He has a stock worth about $10,000, and enjoys a large and lucrative trade. He was married in 1844 to Miss Juliette, daughter of J. W. Farnham, of Deerfield. Though they have no children of their own the death of Mr. Wilson's younger sister gave them an adopted son—William H. Wilson, who married Miss Nellie Misner, of Deerfield Township, this county. Our subject is a man of pronounced business ability, unassuming in his every-day life, and possessing those genial qualities of mind and heart that have won for him hosts of friends during his long career in business. Mr. Wilson has filled various offices of trust, and served as Postmaster of Deerfield for upward of twenty-five years.
