LaPorte City Progress Review:
Isaac Shepherd Mahan was born in Lexington, Illinois on June 15, 1871, and spent his early childhood days in his home town. He attended the public schools and when 16 years of age entered the printing establishment of his half-brother, W.H. Shepherd to learn a trade. His apprenticeship in this time gave him a good business training and made him a careful and competent workman. When Mr. Shepherd came to La Porte City and bought the newspaper then known as the Progress, Isaac Mahan came with him and in a year was foreman of the mechanical dept. During this time he was also editor and publisher of the Mr. Auburn Star. In 1892, Isaac, or "Dick" as he was familiarly called by his friends, decided to change his occupation and entered the Dental Dept. of the Iowa State University, and completed his course in March of 1895. After receiving his diploma Mr. Mahan decided to locate in La Porte City and purchased one of the Dental Offices. After a successful business for about 6 years Mr. Mahan sold his office and became manager of The Jasper Telephone Co. On September 21, 1901, Isaac married Grace McQuilkin and the couple went at once to Newton to make their home. While living there, their only child, Helen Reba Mahan was born. From Newton, Isaac went to La Mars, Iowa, and was engaged for a while in the telephone business. In the summer of 1906, Isaac went to Oklahoma City and became associated in the Real Estate Business. Later he became assistant secretary of the Oklahoma State Fair Association. The only surviving relatives known here, are the wife, Grace Mahan; daughter, Helen Reba Mahan; and sister who was formerly Reba Mahan of Bloomington, Illinois.
