ISAAC H. HIESTAND, a prominent citizen of Jackson Township, was born in
Washington County, Ind., October 18, 1837, being the fifth of a family of
nine children born to Isaac and Jemima (Richards) Heistand.  His father
was a native of Virginia, from which State he removed to Indiana in 1818. 
The mother was a native of Kentucky, and came to this State at a very
early date.  Isaac H. had limited advantages of schools, but by his energy
he succeeded in securing a practical education.  He has lived with his
parents until the present time, except the period of his service in the
late war.  In July of 1861, he entered the service of the United States as
a private in Company C, Twenty-third Indiana Volunteer Infantry.  He
served bravely and with high credit for nearly two and a half years.  He
was wounded, and in consequence was discharged after having been promoted
to the rank of Sergeant.  On December 24, 1865, his marriage with Dorothy
A. Martin was solemnized, and to this union have been born eight children,
six of whom are now living:  Fannie, Oliver M. (dead), Hite H., Lydia E.,
Benjamin H., Isaac H. (dead), Letha M. and Raymond G.  He is a member of
the United Brethren Church, and contributes liberally to its support.  In
politics he is a stanch Republican. He is a successful farmer and a
respected citizen.
