General Notes: Husband - Isaac Ricketts


He was reared to farm life, and always followed that pursuit. His wedding was celebrated February 22, 1842, and on the following day they came on horseback to Mt. Pleasant, locating on his father's farm in Beccaria township. Mrs. Ricketts was not fifteen years of age until the 4th of March following. They began their domestic life in a hewed-log house, and there resided until 1859, when they removed to a part of the farm which his brother John had formerly purchased. For twenty-eight years it was their place of residence, after which they made their home in Utahville until his death. Both Mr. and Mrs. Ricketts held membership with the Presbyterian Church, and in politics he was a Democrat, but never sought office, preferring to give his leisure time to the enjoyment of his home.
