Fahey for providing the biographical information: From the 1914 book History of Franklin County: Isaac Benjamin Switzer, conducting a feed and sale stable in Hampton, was born in Canada, March 10, 1865, a son of James Switzer, of whom further mention is made elsewhere in this work. When two years of age he was brought to Iowa by his parents, who established their home on what is now the Mott farm, five miles east of Hampton. Later they took up their abode in Giant township, where James Switzer passed away. At the age of seven years Isaac B. Switzer went to make his home with his uncle, W.H. Weaver, near what was then the town of Otisville and is now known as Dows. There he remained until sixteen years of age, acquiring a common-school education. He engaged as a cattle herder and was afterwards for three years in the cheese business in Franklin county. He afterward took up farming in partnership with his brother, Julius Nelson Switzer, and was later in the livery business in Dows, Iowa. At the end of six years he became interested in the construction of township roads and after following this occupation for two years again turned his attention to agricultural pursuits. In 1904 he, bought eighty acres of land in West Fork township, Franklin county, and to this added forty acres, operating the property for six years. At the end of that time he sold his holdings and moved to Hampton, where he erected a sale stable and feed barn one hundred and twenty-two by one hundred and thirty-two feet in dimensions and constructed of cement block. He has since operated this enterprise and has a large patronage, for his prices are reasonable and his business methods beyond reproach. On the 24th of December, 1902, Mr. Switzer married Miss Sarah Way, a native of Wisconsin, and both are well known in Hampton. Mr. Switzer attends the Congregational church, of which his wife is a member. He is connected fraternally with the Modern Woodmen of America and gives his political allegiance to the republican party. He occupies a high place in business circles, and his success is the natural result of his ability and industry.
