Isaac Mize was born
about 1802 in Kentucky; his father was Jeremiah Mize. He died in the winter of
1893, probably in Rockcastle County.
Isaac was married four times and fathered at least 22 children. His last wife,
Marinda Tyree, died in 1917 and was buried in the Raspberry Cemetery in
Rockcastle County, near where she and Isaac were living in 1893. Isaac is most
likely buried either at the Raspberry Cemetery or in a family cemetery which is
rumored to be located somewhere on his former farm.

"State of Kentucky, Rockcastle County, March 31st, 1892. In the name of
God, Amen, I, Isaac Mize of the above named state and county, feeling feeble in
body but in perfect mind and memory, do make this my last will and testament.
"Article 1st: It is my will to give my [unreadable word] wife Marinda Mize
all my personal property, also any thing in the house such as dishes, beding,
& c, to dispose of at her will.
"Article 2nd: I omit giving any of my heirs any thing more that the law
requires, one dollar each, as they have had as much of my estate as I am
willing for them to have.
"In testimony whereof, Isaac Mize of the above named state and county, has
hereunto subscribed his name in the presents of
"Attest: M.H. Lewis, W.M. Norton."

Notes: Isaac's will was entered into the court records 24 Jan 1894. It's likely
then, that Isaac died sometime in the winter, probably December 1893.
