(Born: December 9, 1805 - Died: June 3, 1891)

George E. Isbell was a merchant. He is noted in an 1880 Census of Seneca Falls, NY, where his age is listed as 73 and birth place as New York. His wife is listed as Mary Isbell, who was 65 in the same census.

He is presumed to be the George E. Isbell buried in Montrose Cemetery in Pennsylvania. (That is about 40 miles from Binghampton, NY, but actually not unreasonable) His dates are listed as Dec. 9, 1805 - June 3, 1891, and he is buried with his wife, named Mary L. Post-Robinson, 1815-1892.
