Isaac Bricker
Isaac Bricker, one of the prominent farmers of Jackson township, is lying at the point of death. He is aged about 66. The disease from which he suffers is said to be cancer of the liver. Mr. Bricker was born in Lebanon Co., Pa. In 1849, he took the overland trip to California and three years later returned home, but after six months went to California again, on both of which occasions he was successful. After remaining in California the last time for three years, he returned to Shelby, where he purchased a large quantity of land. He is the father of fourteen children.
