General Notes: Husband - Isaac Colegrove

---

He attended the country schools about three months during the year, until fourteen years old, when his school days were no more. Until reaching his majority, he was subject to the duties required of him by his parents; not among the most irksome were his trips to mill on horseback, a distance of several miles. It was a common occurrence for the bag of corn to tip by being struck against a sapling, and force him to the ground. On one occasion the faithful farm dog accompanied Isaac on a milling trip, and accidentally discovered a "woodchuck" in a hollow tree, and the young lad, at once forgetting his errand, alighted from the horse, to assist in capturing the little animal that Bowser had quarantined. On his return to the horse, he found that the sack had fallen to the ground, and he, being too small to replace it, must wait until some one chanced to pass along. In about one hour a good neighbor relieved the young man from the terrible suspense, and he went on his way rejoicing. He took considerable interest in hunting, and killed large quantities of wild game over the present site of Corry. At the age of twenty-one, he engaged in a saw mill at Jamestown, for Henry Baker, and at the end of four years he withdrew and continued the same at Columbus, Pennsylvania, with Luther Mather.
He married and at once entered actively in the improvement of 100 acres, now within the present city limits of Corry, a portion of which he sold and laid off in lots.
In addition to the position as a member of the first Council of Corry, in which capacity he served for nine years, he officiated as Assessor of the First Ward of Corry in 1873, 1881 and 1882, and Mayor, 1883, and re-elected in 1884 with no opposition. He and first wife were long connected with the Methodist Church, but later he was a Baptist. In politics he was a Republican.
