of the early settlers of Ogden. He engaged in the hard work and vicissitudes of early pioneer life. He took an active part in the building of roads, the railroad, canals, and in constructing a wall in a section of Ogden which served as a protection from the indians. (Wall Avenue was later named after this wall). He contracted the rock for the foundation of some of the best building in Ogden which are still standing today. On the 11th of March, 1858, he was married in the Endowment House in Salt lake City to Madeleine and Emily Pauline Malan, twin sistersdaughters of John Daniel and Pauline Combe Malan, pioneers who arrived in Utah in 1855. (It is interesting to note Isaac was also a twin. His twin sister was Martha Rebecca Farley). Isaac's daughters told of their parents' account of the marriage as follows: "Father had proposed marriage to Madeleine who accepted his offer. But when he went to Salt Lake with Madeleine to be married, he was told by Brigham Young to go back and get the other twin, to come back, and they would perform the marriage. They returned to Ogden where Isaac proposed to Emily Pauline who accepted the proposal. The three returned to Salt Lake City where they were married. It was something unusual to see so young a man with two wiveshe being only four days past his twenty-first birthday and the girls between eighteen and nineteen years of age. He was told at the time of his marriage that he was the first young man to enter into the principle of plural marriage in the Church." The following was taken from Madeleine's handwritten account of their marriage and honeymoon: "We were married in the Endowment House in Salt Lake City together with about forty couples from Weber County. This was a call made by President Brigham Young before the closing of the Endowment House. Were married by President Heber C. Kimball. Daniel H. Wells and George Q. Cannon were witnesses. In May we took our honeymoon trip southlocating on what was then called the Provo Bottoms. We selected a very pretty spot by a creek with a mound rising in the middle into a small island which was matted with violets." Shortly after their marriage, Johnston's Army was seeking admission into the state. Isaac was sent to Echo Canyon to serve under Major Lot Smith. He served in the Echo War from the beginning to the end. When President Brigham Young instructed all the people north of Utah County to move south, Isaac sold the first home he had built on the north side of twenty-fourth street (about one-third of a block west from Washington Avenue). He moved his family to the Provo Bottoms near Utah Lake where he erected a temporary home. They returned to Weber County in late August and helped to harvest the crops which the bounteous rains had preserved and matured during their absence. During the ensuing eleven years the following four children were born to Madeleine in Ogden: Ophelia, March 18, 1859; Julia Augusta, November 12, 1860, Simeon Alonzo, Mary 13, 1864; and
