Isaiah T. Enders was the eighth child of George & Susannah (Fetterhoff) Enders. In 1860, he was a farmer living with his family in Jackson Township, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, and is in that census as a fourteen-year-old. He stood 5' 7" tall and had brown hair and gray eyes.

A Civil War veteran, he served two terms of service:

First enlisted at the stated age of nineteen in Halifax, Dauphin County, June 27, 1863, during the Gettysburg crisis, mustered into state service at Harrisburg July 2 as a private with Co. C, 36th Pennsylvania Militia, and honorably discharged with his company August 11, 1863. His brothers George Washington and William Henry Enders served in the same regiment but in Co. C.
Enlisted at the stated age of twenty in Harrisburg February 24, 1864, mustered into federal service that day as a private with Co. E, 9th Pennsylvania Cavalry (92nd Pennsylvania), and honorably discharged with his company July 19, 1865.

He married Mary Ellen Bowman and fathered the children you see linked below. A teacher and merchant during his post-war days, he fell over dead on a Harrisburg street on the way to a business meeting, the cause later ascertained to have been "valvular disease of heart."
