Issac was one of many of our branch of family in Ohio and Indiana who sacrificed much in the missionary work among the Indians. Through his efforts, Friends were interested to establish a mission at the headquarters of the reservation for the Shawnees at Wapakonnetta, Ohio. He and his wife, Lydia Dicks, were the superintendants for many years. He is accredited with having put and end to the belief in witchcraft among the Shawnees. The story of his offering his own life before the council of war-determined chiefs, to save that of one accused, I have found in four different books in the State Library. It is best given in "The History of the Shawnee Indians" by Henry Harvey, and it is well given in "The Prophet" by Edward Eggleston. When the lands of Ohio were wanted for settlements of white people, the Indians by treaty, accepted a reservation in what is now Kansas. Many of the Harveys of our branch, had a part in the work of carrying on the mission established there.
