From "Book of Oregon Pioneers" c. 1904:

"Isaac N. Sargent, a retired farmer and merchant, living in a beautifulone story cottage on Liberty Street, is one of the venerable pioneers ofthe northwest and stands today high in the admiration and esteem of everyperson who knows him. He was born in 1817, on Sept. 25, at Chester,Vermont. His father, Isaac Sargent, was also a native of Vermont, andmarried Miss Sallie Pratt, who came from a prominent colonial family andwas a native of Vermont. She dien in Wisconsin about ten years after herhusband who passed away in Vermont, on June 12, 1834 at the oldhomestead. William Sargent sailed from Northampton, England with hisfamily to Charlestown, MA, in 1638 and since then, the Sargent family hasbeen prominent in business, at the bench and bar, and in professionallife. They are well known throughout New England and elsewhere and areamongst the oldest families in the United States. ...

Isaac N. Sargent was educated in the private schools of his native placeand the academy and upon his father's death went to work in the store,continuing the same until he was of age. In 1838, he went to Wisconsinand there taught school and did farming until 1862, when he came toOregon with horse teams. Being pleased with The Dalles and the outlookof this country, he settled here, and in the Dalles and eastern Oregonmhas been ever since. After farming for some time in this vicinity, hemoved to Grant---------and engaged in the merchantile business for eightyears, then sold out and moved to The Dalles, since which time he hasbeen largely retired, living upon the income his industry and wisdomprovided. In addition to the home place, he owns other residenceproperty in the Dalles and is obe of the substantial men of the country.

On August 4, 1838, at Lowell, MA, Mr Sargent married Miss Hannah H. Brownwho was b. in Springfield, VT on August 19, 1817, the daughter of Georgeand Anna (Bemis) Brown, natives of VT. Both are old colonial familiesand are well known in New England circles. Mr. Sargent has no livingbrother or sisters, but his wife has one sister, Martha, widow of WilliamHoney in Omaha, Nebraska. Five children have been b. to Mr and MrsSargent; Frederick A., a farmer on Five Mile creek near The Dalles;Chester C., a farmer in the vacinity of The Dalles; Frank, a mining manat Baker City; Fanny, wife of Frank Hunsaker, now deceased; and Hattie,the wife of Edward Wilson, of Portland. They also have raised on adopteddaughter, Katherine, who was their grand daughter.

Mrs Sargent is a member of the Methodist Church. Mr Sargent is a stanchRepublican, and held these principles long before the Republican partywas organized. Mr & Mrs Sargent have traveled together in their weddedlife for 66 years, a most remarkable and pleasant fact. Although bothare nearly four score and ten years, still they are active and hearty,with all their facilities unimpaired and are excellent citizens of TheDalles....

Since the above was written, the reaper, death, visited Mr Sargent's homeand took his beloved and faithful wife. Like the ripened grain, she wasready for the sickle, and having completed life's duties well, she hasstepped forward to the rewards awaiting the faithful. The day ofdeparture was December 8, 1904."

From "History Central Oregon" modernized by Judge Fred W Wilson and RayPerarcy:

"Isaac N. Sargent, old homesteader, freighter and store operator was bornin Chester, VT (1817) son of Isaac and Sallie (Pratt) Sargent of Chester,VT where he was educated and first worked in an old country store; thenin 1838 he taught school in Wisconsin and came to The Dalles by coveredwagon in 1862 where he farmed in 5 Mile and freighted to the mines atCanyon City. Soon as the military authorities made it safe from Indianmolestation Mr. Sargent homesteaded in Grant County and operated a storein Mitchell, one of the toughest western towns in Oregon, for 8 years. In1838 he had married Hanna Brown of VT, daughter of George and Anna(Bemis) Brown and had been wedded 66 years in 1904. Children:
1. Frederick A Sargent, farmer on the old 5 Mile home place, afterwardswent to Portland.
2. Chester C. Sargent was best remembered as owner of the old IXLRestaurant which "sold the best meals in The Dalles for 15 cents in 1900"and many a "horse trade was made over his 30 cent porterhouse steaks",according to Ray Pearcy, local taxi driver who liked Sargent's 15 centmeals. In 1953 most restaurants post a sign, "no service less than 25cents for coffee and sinkers."
3. Frank Sargent was a miner at Baker and in eastern Oregon.
4. Fannie (Mrs Frank Hunsaker) died here in The Dalles.
