Isaac Cowgill, a farmer, was born in Claibourne Township, one mile from where he now lives, March 24, 1838; he is a son of George W. and Susan (Smart) Cowgill, natives of the Eastern States, of English descent.  His father was a farmer, and to this occupation our subject has devoted his life.  He has been successful in his business, and owns a nice improved farm of good land on the Marysville pike.  He was married in 1859 to Eunice Mary Beardsley, a daughter of J. G. Beardsley, whose sketch appears in this work; she was formerly a school teacher, and in a member of the Methodist Protestant Church.  By this union one child was born-Ida A., who married William S. Bonner, and has two children-C. C. and Fay.  Mr. Cowgill in a Democrat In politics.
