Isaac Bolt, whose death was noticed in last week's issue, was born in Kentucky, March 5, 1819. His parents moved from Kentucky to Indiana while he was yet a child, making a home in Bartholemew County, where he grew to manhood. He married Martha Ann Hughes, October 21, 1848 in Brown County, Indiana, then came to Jasper County, Iowa, where he resided for a few years, coming to this county in August 1854, making his home near Sciola, where he continued to reside until 1887 when his health failing he came to Villisca.
To them were born nine children, two of whom died in infancy, and one, Charles Howard died in Villisca in 1879 at the age of 19. The other six, Mary E. Taylor, John C. Bolt, Louisa J. Bunker, Emma S. Sweet, Isaac C. Bolt, and Geo. W. Bolt are now living as is Mrs. Bolt, his now bereaved wife.
Mr. Bolt was one of Iowa's successful pioneers. It was his work to help build the bridges, mills, school houses, and churches. He made and owned a farm of 1,000 acres, one of the best farms in the county.
He was converted and joined the United Brethren Church in Jasper County, Iowa, living a devout life and maintaining a family altar. On coming to the Nodaway Valley, he did not unite with a church, but his dear old wife says he never renounced his Christian faith.
He was a good citizen, respected by his neighbors, hospitable as a Kentuckian, faithful as a friend, and dearly loved by his family.
