From Dr. Keith Maddy: I remember Grandpa Isaac telling of the return of the soldiers who lived through the Civil War, and of the great grief of families of those men who did not return. Isaac was 7 years old at the end of the Civil War. He spoke of bison and elk still running wild in southern Iowa when he was a boy. He recalled reading newspaper accounts of the Indian wars and particularly of Custer's last stand on the Little Big Horn. Isaac married Nancy Jane Roberts on March 10, 1878, at Attica, Marion County, Iowa. To this union were born 8 children. From grandson, Audrey Martin McVay: Isaac had a saw mill, ran a general store. He also farmed and raise livestock. Isaac's saw mill on English Creek, was run by a steam engine. Around 1880, the engine blew up and Isaac went flying into the creek! Isaac became the first president of the Rural Telephone Company at Reasoner, before moving to Minnesota. In 1903, Isaac moved his family to Stephen, Minnesota, (in the extreme northwestern corner of the state) to farm a large acreage. They were there for only 18 months. This proved to be a disaster. The farmland did not measure up to Iowa's productivity. This weather proved to be unbearable – very hot, very cold, and terribly windy. The oldest daughter had recently married, and she and her husband went along. She died giving birth. Disheartened, they put everything they owned into railroad cars and returned to Iowa. Isaac lived all his life in Iowa with the exception of the 18 months in Minnesota. About 1917, Isaac and son-in-law, Mart (Alfred Martin) McVay, went to Omaha and bought 55 train carloads of sheep. They brought them back to the farm, raised them for 6 months, then shipped 75 carloads to Chicago. They had up to 6000 cattle at one time. Isaac purchased the 1st Model A automobile in Marion County in 1928. The last land Isaac farmed was near Pershing, Iowa. According to Iowa and Missouri marriage records on Ancestry.com, Isaac was married 3 times: 1) March 10, 1878, at Attica, Marion County, Iowa, to Nancy Jane Roberts, who died on August 4, 1927. 2) January 17, 1928, to Emma Perry Jordan, who died in 1931. 3) June 26, 1933, to Kittie Buchan Hines, who outlived him. During his lifetime, Isaac took part in building 8 or 10 churches, and was President of the Attica School Board when the consolidated school was built. Isaac was a Christian and church member all his life; he was a charter (founding) member of the Primitive Methodist Church in Knoxville. Isaac Thomas Maddy died on March 1, 1940, at the home of his daughter, Zella (Mrs. Douglas) Simmons, in Attica, at the age of 81 yrs., 8 mo., and 15 days. His funeral was Sunday, March 3, at Zion Church. He is survived by his children: Jesse Goldbury "Golie" Maddy of Pleasantville, Rosa Lois Maddy McVay of Madrid, Aura Herman Maddy of Knoxville, Zella May Maddy Simmons of Attica (all in Iowa); Leo Sylvester Maddy of Quantico, Virginia, and Elmer Charles Maddy of Shreveport, Louisiana. He was predeceased by his first 2 wives, and by 2 children: Ada Caroline Maddy, who died in infancy; and Calinda Jane Maddy Jones. Information on Isaac's 3 marriages from Jeremy Cochran. Remaining information from grandsons Dr. Keith Thomas Maddy (Memorial #40647123) and Audrey Martin McVay (Memorial #41147567) and from his obituary. Merged and submitted by great-granddaughter Angela, Member #48520699.
