THE HALLOCKS.

Isaac Peter Hallock, Jr., was born in Kendall county, Illinois, on March 21, 1840. He married at Oakfield, Iowa, in 1868, Malinda, the daughter of William Canfield and Harriet Ruth (Thayer) Norton, and who was born at Springwater, New York, May 16, 1845. He was a farmer, stock grower, and merchant. He came to Oakfield in 1856, with his father, before the town was laid out, and they afterwards lived there together the remainder of their lives. He was a quiet, busy man, generally loved and respected by his kindred and neighbors. He had a large landed estate and was a wealthy man at his death. At one time he owned a flouring-mill at Oakfield and had a general store there several years. He had a fine deer park, containing a large herd of native wild deer, which finally escaped and were lost. He was a Republican, was county supervisor in 1883, and held local offices. His landed estate is now possessed by his sons, Keese and Percy. He is dead and his wife died in 1907. Their children were: Harriett Abbie, who married John Curry; Clarence Keese, married Olive Jenkins, and Isaac Percy, unmarried.
