Biographical Sketch of Isaac N. Dalrymple (1836-1914) by Laura Darnall
Isaac Dalrymple was born on March 22, 1836, in Clark County, Ohio and immigrated with his family to Grant County, Indiana, at age six, then moved again to Stark County, Illinois, at ten where he lived until maturity. In May, 1862, he enlisted in Company B of the 112th Illinois Volunteer Infantry. He was captured by Confederate soldiers while scouting and confined in Libby prison of Richmond, then transferred to Belle Island in the James River, and finally moved to the infamous Andersonville Prison in Georgia. He was exchanged on November 21, 1864, and mustered out of the army in the spring, 1865.
The following year, he settled on a homestead seven miles southwest of Glasco, Kansas. In 1868, Isaac was elected to represent Cloud County in the Kansas Legislature. On September 1, 1870, he married Adelaid Kilgore of Abilene. The couple had six children, all of whom survived their father who died of "cerebral hemorrhage" at Siloam Springs, Arkansas, on June 27, 1914, after jumping down from a wagon and injuring his "right thigh together with other complications" that resulted in his death. Four days later, his body was laid to rest in the family plot of Glasco Cemetery.
