BIOGRAPHY:
Isaac Irwin, the father of our subject, was born in Virginia, and when a young
man accompanied his father when he removed to Nelson County, Ky. There he met
and married Miss Ellen King. There were born to them eleven children, nine of
whom lived to attain years of discretion. Subsequently he removed to Hardin
County, where he lived until he was fifty years old, then went to Putnam
County, Ind. There he lived until his death, which occurred when he was
eighty-four years of age. This event occurred just before our subject came to
this State. Mr. Irwin followed agricultural pursuits nearly all his life. He
was frequently called upon to fill various offices, and is one of the prominent
citizens of his district. The grandfather of our subject, John Irwin, was the
first member of this family to leave the old English home for the New World. He
settled first in Virginia, afterward removing as above noted to Kentucky, where
he died in Nelson County about the year 1818.
