Isaac Aldebert McNown and Margaret Steele McNown

This is a photograph of Isaac Aldebert McNown (1841-1931) and Margaret Steele McNown (1850-1919). Shortly after their wedding, they decided to leave Wisconsin and move to Texas; however, as they passed through Kansas, Margaret became ill. She refused to go on, so they settled southeast of Wichita, Kansas. Isaac purchased several hundred acres of farmland and became a successful farmer.
