Isaiah Wall, the eldest of the eight children of John and Lorinda

natives, respectively, of Franklin and St. Louis Counties, Mo., and in
1870 they moved to Elk County, Kas., returned to Franklin County two

Wall died in 1858, aged forty-one years.  In 1859 John Wall married 
Mrs. Mary A. Cole, nee Thurmond, and by this union is the father of
two children.  He was a farmer in early life, but is now engaged in
merchandising.  He is a son of Simeon and Mary (Wells) Wall, natives
of or very early settlers in Tennessee, who moved to Franklin County,

well improved land.  He was married in 1860 to Miss Martha Boyd, a
native of Franklin County, and a daughter of Thomas and Mary (Johns)
Boyd.  Mr. and Mrs. Wall are the parents of nine children, viz.: John
