Misc. Notes
From Mary Katzman- Boone discussion group " The writer of this sketch was present and say Isiah Wilcox buried, he buying his last suit in which he was clothed for the last time. His wife and children have given consent that his remains be exhumed in this year 1893 and be transferred to the family cemetery of our family on Deer Creek, Carter Co. Ky. and laid by the body of his son, Sam - the first man buried here in the year 1864. Grandfather Isaiah was a man about 5 feet 10 inches tall, would weight about 165 pounds at his fighting weight in middle age. He was smooth complected and a good looking man, with straight black hair, blue eyes, shoulders a little stooped and as age came on he became more so. He was a man of rather slow speech, yet positive and firm when not riled. Yet when his temper became aroused, hid whole frame semed set in motion and his tongue worked as though on a pivot. He was a man you had a quick temper, yet he controlled in in a becoming manner and if enraged, like a troubled water he soon became smoothed down and was as pleasant as though nothing had disturbed his peace and quietude.
