ISAAC POE,  deceased; born in Medina Co., Ohio, in 1822; spent his 
early days in Ohio, and married, Jan. 11, 1843, Miss Polly Holcomb, of 
his native county; they came to Concord in 1846, and bought a piece of 
land so covered with timber that Mr. Poe had to cut trees before he could 
build.  The young couple had their allotted share of the pioneer 
privations, but kept bravely at work, cleared up the farm and made a 
good home.  Mr. Poe enlisted in 1862 in the 29th W.V.I.; was made 
Fourth Sergeant, and died at Helena, Ark., March 7, 1863; he lies buried 
in Concord.  His death was deplored by a large circle of old friends and 
numerous relatives; he left seven children – Frances M., Chauncy W., 
Cinderella, David W., Flaville W., Theodore J. and Ida E.  His wife still 
resides on the old homestead of 115 acres, with the two younger 
children.
