OBIT:
Boswell – Isaac G. Boswell was born in Butler County, Ohio, August 30, 1813, and died in Oskaloosa, Iowa March 6, 1887. He came to Iowa in 1849, and lived in Keokuk one year. He came to Oskaloosa in 1850, and has lived here ever since.
But few of the citizens are living now that were present then. He operated the old woolen mill that used to stand near his home for five years. Ill health compelled him to withdraw from that enterprise. His health was never firm from that time.
In 1867 he was converted and connected himself with the First M.E. Church, of which he remained a consistent member until his death. He was an earnest member of the Good Templar organization and filled the highest office in the Grand Lodge, that of Grand Worth Chief Templar. He was also a member of the National Grand Lodge. In the church and in the temperance organizations he was quiet and pleasant, but always consistent and earnest. In his humble sphere he met the demands of duty, and to the measure of his ability faithfully discharged all his obligations. He was a good citizen, a true friend, an affectionate husband and a devoted Christian. “He rests from his labors.”
