When Wm. Isaac was 21 years old a wagonload of lumber turned over on him. The doctors didn't think he would live until midnight, but he lived almost 70 years afer that. The accident broke his nose, so it was sort of flat.

William Isaac was also hit by a car when he was older and survived that as well.

1900 Census Pope County, Boyles Township, Arkansas, sheet 4, page 21 called them Will age 36 and Sally age 28.

1910 Census Johnson County, Pittsburg Township, dwelling 195, family 200, T624#54 says: Isaac William instead of Wm. Isaac and Hershel James instead of James Hershel. A border, George W. Aday, age 59 (laborer-odd jobs) was living with them at this time.

On November 26, 1906 Will filed an Application for Letters of Administration, by which he applied to be the administrator for his father's estate. He listed the heirs as himself, Emma Whiteley of Lamar, Arkansas, her sister Christina, and the heirs of Sarah Poe, deceased, of Soddy, Tennessee. He also listed C. D. Owens of Indian Territory and Lizzie Stockton, address unknown.
