The information regarding the marriage of Isaac and Eliza Virden, and eventually, their deaths, was found on Ancestry.com family tree information. There are inconsistencies present, as the year of death was listed as 1888, but the publication date was listed as 1883.
THE FIRST WEDDING IN WATERLOO was on the 11th day of July, 1854. The parties were ISAAC VIRDEN and Miss. ELIZA MAY, daughter of SAMUEL L. MAY, who then lived on the west side, on the bank of the river, near the ferry landing. Judge J. H. PRATT officiated. Mr. VIRDEN died in the army during the war, and Mrs. VIRDEN died at Clarksville, where she was visiting, on the 1st of January, 1888. [Isacc Virden son of William and Martha Williamson Virden].

The Courier, Waterloo, IA, Wednesday, January 3, 1883
DIED. Mrs. Eliza Virden, died at Clarksville on New Year's morning at 8 o'clock of neuralgia of the stomach, aged about 50 years. The remains were brought to this city for burial and the funeral services will be held at 1:30 o'clock. Mrs. Virden was one of the earliest settlers of this section and has seen this country develop from a comparative wilderness to what it is to-day.
Her son's obituary states that she was the first Waterloo school teacher.
From the files of the (Waterloo)REPORTER of June 7, 1883:
"The first school house in Waterloo was a small log building, about 16x22, erected on Jefferson street in 1853, in which Miss Eliza May, afterward Mrs. Eliza Virden, first taught the Waterloo youth the same summer. On Sundays the building was used for church purposes, the Methodists, Baptists and Presbyterians holding services alternately."
