He is on the 1850 census, age 18, with parents in Marion Twp., Hocking Co., Oh. [p 855 fam #213/219] On the 1870 census, we find him, age 40, with no wife, living with brother John in Lone Pine, Inyo Co., Calif. They are farming and each declare $1000 worth of real estate and $150 in personal estate.[p 331 fam #27/26] By 1880 we find Israel, 49, now has wife Amelia B., 35, with him. Also, Della, age 10. Della was born in Iowa, and her parents both born in Ohio. This must be the adopted daughter reported in family records. Brother John is still living with them.[p 503 fam #150/189] In Mar 1880, in his father's estate papers, we are told that he is living in "Five Point, (Fresno Co.,) Calif." Israel died 1912, most probably in Calif.
