Early Settler Passes Away --
Isaac Place, son of Sidney and Reda Place, was born in Jefferson County, Illinois, April 7, 1842; departed at 6:30 on the morning of June 28, 1926. Age 84 years, 2 months and 21 days. He came from a large family, having eight brothers and sisters, all having preceded him in death.
Mr. Place received his education in the home schools in Illinois. On October 19, 1861 he enlisted in Company K, 49th Illinois Volunteer Infantry for three years. Before the expriation of this term he reenlisted in the same company for three more years, or the duration of the war. He has a long war record to his credit. The principal battles he was engaged in were at Fort Donelson, Pleasant Hill, Louisiana, Nashville, Tennessee and many other engagements and skirmishes. In September 1865 he received an honorable discharge at Springfield, Illinois.
April 18, 1866 he was united in marriage to Miss Jane Taylor in Illinois. To this union four children were born, one son, Franklin, having passed away in infancy.
They were engaged in farming in Illinois until the fall of 1873 when they moved with their two children to Nebraska where they preempted a farm and filed on a timber claim in Merrick County. The timber claim was his home up until the time of his death. In 1881 they homesteaded a quarter in Loup County, Nebraska, living on it just long enough to prove up on it when they moved back to their home north of Palmer. They were among the earliest setters in this community and passed through many discouraging and trying times. They were hailed out two years in succession in Loup county and went through the days of the grasshopper raid which destroyed all their crops.
Mr. Place had been in poor health for the past eight years, having been blind and helpless for the past three years. His daughter, Mrs. Strong, has given him loving and tender care for the past several years.
He leaves to mourn, one son, John of Palmer, two daughters, Mrs. Orrin Strong, who lives on the home place and Mrs. Joseph Burke of Chapman, Nebraska, four grandchildren, John Place Jr. and family, Hershel Place of Palmer, Morris Place of Fairfield, Nebraska, and Mrs. Sylvia Behymer and family of Chapman; two great grandchildren and many friends.
