Isaac Newton LeBARON, of Morrisville [Lamoille County, Vermont], was born 30 
April 1839 in Calais [Washington County], Vermont, son of Apollos and Rhoda 
(SANGER) Le BARON. He received his early education at the district school, 
and afterwards was a pupil of the academies of Barre and Morrisville. 
Commencing his life as a farmer, he met with great success in his chosen 
vocation. In 1866 he began the manufacture of brick, which he continued for 
four years, but unfortunately the financial result was not proportionate to 
the skill and industry displayed by Mr. Le BARON in the business. The lack 
of fortune was followed by a large decrease in the value of real estate in 
his vicinity, and after an ineffectual struggle, he was obliged to abandon 
the old homestead upon which he had so long and earnestly labored, but though 
suffering pecuniary loss, he could now solace himself with the comforting 
reflection that his honor and respectable standing in the community still 
remained.

Casting his first vote for Abraham LINCOLN, Mr. Le BARON has ever since 
remained a strong adherent of Republican principles. Repeatedly he has been 
called upon by his townsmen to fill the different positions of trust and 
importance in their gift. As lister, selectman, justice of the peace, and 
superintendent of schools, he has always merited their confidence and in 1888 
he represented their interests in the state Legislature, where he made a 
manly and satisfactory record. Mr. Le BARON is an active and conscientious 
member of the Universalist church, to whose interests he has devoted much 
active effort, for seven years serving as the superintendent of the Sabbath 
school. In years past he has been secretary of the old Lamoille County Fair. 
He [Isaac Newton Le BARON] was united in marriage to Maria L., daughter of 
Malachi and Patience BARROWS, of Morristown [Lamoille County, Vermont]. From 
this marriage there are seven children: Dana F., Eva J., Ada C. (deceased), 
Daisy M., Washington Irving, and Isaac Newton Jr.
