    Notes:

    His early academic course was one of disappointed hopes. After struggles in various fields of commercial life, he took a collegiate course in Lindsay, Ont., and matriculated into Victoria College, Coburg, Ontario in 1887. After a year's theological work, he joined the Central Illinois Conference and completed his theological studies on the field, receiving New Boston, IL as his first appointment. In the year 1902, after a career that promised to be one of intense usefulness, he was accidentally killed at Decatur, IL. He was a preacher of unusual ability and his personality attracted many friends.

    After their marriage they migrated to the USA around 1885 - 1890 with other family members. They first settled around the Lovejoy, Iroquois County, area in Illinois. But had to have spent sometime in Mercer County as both Isaac and their young son T. Clement are both listed as being buried in the New Boston Cemetery.

    When Isaac died in 1902 at the age of 42, he left behind his young wife, Angelina age 37 and their 2 small children; Ina Elizabeth was only 5 years old and her brother DeWillet was only 12. Thoburn also died in Illinois at the age of one and is buried in the New Boston Cemetery in Mercer County with his father. Around 1905 Angelina took her two remainigng children and went back to Canada where they lived the rest of their days.
