Another Veteran Called Beyond
Isaac Mickey was born at Lexington, Pa., May 10, 1841, and died in Waukon, July 31, (1912), aged 71 years past. He left home when a boy eight or nine years of age, and came with a sister, Mrs. Baldwin, to Iowa and made his home at Rossville for years. When the civil war started he enlisted in 1861 in Company K, 12th Iowa Infantry. He was honorably discharged from the same, on account of disability, at St. Louis, Nov 11, 1865.
He was three times married, first to Kate Roe who died Jan. 19 1873, leaving two children still living, Mrs. Lura Lowe of Ravenna, Ohio, and Mrs. Laura Meyer of Marathon, Iowa. Again he was married to Anna Burgess, and she having died May 16, 1883, he was united in marriage to Mrs. Mary Johnson, mother of Herman and Ella Johnson of Waukon. Mrs. Mickey departed this life May 16, 1905. Their two children, Lettie and Fred, are well known in this community.
Mr. Mickey joined C. P. church of Waukon in 1883. He was badly crippled in the army and as age advanced his infirmities increased until he was unable to do manual labor, except a little in his garden. For a long time he had been a sufferer with gangrene in one of his feet, and for months he had been an invalid, only waiting and wishing for rest. But he was a cheerful invalid most of the time, hoping for something better. At last the rest he desired came to him.
