Isaac Artus Laster was born on April 7, 1878 in Decherd, Franklin County, Tennessee, the son of George Franklin Laster (1840–1906) and Lizzie "Phyllis" (Larkins) Laster (ca 1851–1918). {In the 1880 census Isaac was listed as Ottress Laster, while he was listed as Isaac Artus Laster on his World War I Draft Registration Card and as Ossic Laster on his Death Certificate.}
He was married to Sarah "Sallie" Turner (1890-1960) on May 8, 1910 in Franklin, Williamson County, Tennessee, and she was the daughter of Joseph Turner.
