STRIBLING, farmer, P.O., Virginia; was one of the oldest citizens and foremost agriculturists of Cass County; is a native of Logan County, Ky., and was born January 13, 1821. His parents, Benjamin and Nancy (Washburn) Stribling, emigrated from Logan County to Morgan County, Ill., in the fall of 1827, and located near Literberry. Benjamin Stribling was a native of old Stafford County, Va., and was born Feb. 11, 1797, and his parents moved from there to Kentucky about the year 1803. He remained in Morgan County until 1830, when he removed to the present location of the City of Virginia, and until his death, which occurred June 25, 1880, he was a permanent citizen of Cass County. He was a man of his day; always identified himself with every movement set on foot for the advancement of education and the rights or the interests of his State and county, or the public good. He will long be remembered as one of the stalwart pioneers of Cass County. Isaac M. is the second of a family of three sons; besides our subject, his brother B. Franklin, jr., now deceased, located in Cass County, and his younger brother, Thomas, lives in Iowa. He resided with his parents until of age. Sept. 12, 1842, he married Miss Margaret Beggs, whose parents, Charles and Mary (Rudell) Beggs, were also early settlers on Jersey Prairie. By this union they had five children, two sons and three daughters. At the time of their marriage Mr. Stribling's father made him sole owner of about two hundred acres of land. This property he set about improving. He also engaged in stock dealing in a small way, and very successfully, and this business grew in proportion until he became one of the most extensive feeders and dealers in his county, raising all the produce required in his extensive business, and also a large quantity for the market. On Sept. 26, 1856, Mr. Stribling was made to mourn the loss of a faithful and devoted wife, and his family a loving mother. Stribling Washburn Beggs Rudell = Logan-KY Morgan-IL Stafford-VA IA
