OBITUARY
Issachar F. Baum was born March 8, 1822, in Euclid township Chester County, Pa., and died in Madison, Wis., Sept. 21, 1903, being 81 years of age. In the spring of 1869 on the 5th day of April he came west to Illinois; where he lived for one year, afterward coming to Wis., to Oregon where he resided five years, from thence he went to Butts' Corners and spent twenty-six years of his life, amid pleasant surroundings; about two years ago he came to this city and during most of that time has been in failing health. He was married to Mary Ann Long, March 25, '47, and they lived together in holy matrimony until death cause a separation. This union was blessed with nine children, six of whom are living, Jacob L. of this city; William C., of Denver, Co. John E. and Wesley F. of this city; Mrs. Sarah E. O'Neal and Mrs. M. A. Johnson, both of Evansville. These with their mother mourn the decease of father.

Mr. Baum was converted at 19 years of age, and joined the Methodist Episcopal church of which he was a consistent member at the time of his death, he was a good man and much beloved by his neighbors and friends. He was a man of positive religious convictions and had the courage to assist himself in that regard.

The funeral services were held from the Methodist Episcopal Church on Wednesday afternoon, his pastor Rev. James Churm officiating. The text used on the occasion being John 11:25-26. And the scripture lesson Psalm 23, both of which were selected by Mr. Baum quite a long time ago. The body was laid to rest by tender loving hands in the cemetery.
