Misc. Notes
Isaac is named in the list of Jacob’s children in the Estate listing however he is not listed as a minor child. He would have been born earlier than 1835 to be listed as an adult in those records. I believe it’s an age error in the newspaper announcement or court records. Isaac is listed as the son of Mrs. Ollum, in her obiturary (We know that Isaac lived with Sarah Ollum in Lawrence Co., OH in 1880.) The Isaac that enlisted in the infantry in 1861 was 26 years old (born 1835).

OUR PILGRIM ABROAD
WALKS AND TALKS THROUGH THE COUNTY
Also a Mayor Ollum:
Rev. T. Hornton arrived at Proctorville, last Wednesday evening, from Wichita, Kansas, on a short visit with Rev. De Selm; brought Clara May De Selm, the daughter of the Rev. De S. with him and will return with her this week. Chas. W. Eckhart and Emma W. Kaneff were united as one, at the bride's residence, Nov. 3. Rev. De Selm performed the marriage ceremony.
Mayor Ollum is still on deck and the same jolly fellow, of the rare old style. P. M. Parker is a clever gentleman, but his politics are not good. Dr. Ricketts is on the go all the time, yet it don't reduce his weight. The Doctor still remembers of assisting Dr. Branson in picking the burned powder out of ye editorial countenance. R. W. Magee raised a large crop of hay--has 200 tons baled. "Rufe" is the same wherever you meet him. Dr. Reynolds has gone west. Dr. Atkinson, of Scott Town, has taken his office and will soon move to Proctorville. Dr. Feurt is having his share of the sick folks to attend to.
