225. ISAAC STEAENS ANDEEWS, [122] (Abraham, Solomon, William, John, John, Robert, the first white child born in Lovell; born August 13, 1788; named after his grandfather Stearns ; he was twice married, first to Sally, daughter of William and Huldah (Gordon) Kimball, of Lovell; she died and he married Abigail, widow of his brother Abraham. He had a farm at Lovell Center, opposite the present residence of Henry Russell; was a merchant and carried on lumbering business at Lovell Center. After the death of his wife he removed to a farm less than a mile east of Lovell Center, where Granville Martin now lives. In 1865, after the death of his last wife he removed, with the family of his son Jacob, to Exira, Iowa, where he died; he was a man of remarkable memory and, up to the time of his death, was able to give events, names and dates with marvelous accuracy. In Lovell he was best known by the name of "Uncle Isaac," and will be remembered by his peculiar manner of speech, which was very slow, earnest and delivered in a sing-song tone. There are many funny stories told of his droll wit and aptness in repartee; the first load of goods brought to Lovell for merchandise was hauled by him from Portland for "Squire" Stephen Heald, of Lovell village; he had a glass decanter, a very useful vessel in its time, brought in that load of goods, now in the possession of his grandson, Isaac S. Andrews, of Atlantic, Iowa. We have elsewhere given credit for information received from him in this work; he died December 31, 1868, and is buried at Exira, Iowa; his wife, Sally, died December 12, 1840, aged 47 years.

His children, all by first wife, born in Lovell, were:
226. William George, born Sept 29, 1816.
227. Jacob, born Feb 24, 1820.
228. Sarah, born Nov 2, 1824.
229. Isaac S., born May 26, 1827.
230. Esther, born Feb 10, 1832.
231. Elizabeth, twin with Esther; died in infancy.
