- Thomas Jefferson Isner dies on June 3, 1908¹ ; 1909 according to Register of Deaths

- Martha Ellen Phillips Isner dies December 11, 1910¹

Regarding the burial of Thomas Jefferson Isner and wife Martha Ellen (Phillips) Isner. E-mail correspondence with Margaret Isner Simpson on March 4, 2008.

   "The dual highway going east out of Elkins went right through the area where some of the Isners lived. There is a mountain called Isner Mountain and a Creek called Isner creek. If you leave Elkins going to Beverly you will go over the creek. If you leave Elkins going to Harman you will be on Isner Mountain.
   When this road went through, it went through the Isner Burial grounds and J. Herman Isner and my Uncle Howard were there with the surveyors etc. when they decided what graves would have to be moved. Thomas Jefferson and his wife were two that had to be moved. If I am not mistaken there was no stone or if so, it would have been a field stone. They finally decided where the graves were. They dug into the soil and all they found was dark soil. J. Herman Isner had their remains moved to Maplewood Cemetery at Elkins and had monuments placed for them.
   I do not know for sure if it was the exact grave or not. I remember J. Herman Isner telling us that Uncle Howard thought the graves ran down hill and Herman said that could not be. At the same time J. Herman Isner had another grave to be moved because of the road. He said the person was a young woman and had died in the 30's when her casket was open she looked like she had just died. Of course Thomas and his wife were not embalmed and probably put in wooden caskets. My mother spoke of going by grave yards in the night and seeing phosphorous coming out of the graves. I think it is called Fox Fire."

Isner v. United States, 8 F.2d 487 (4th Cir., 1925)
8 F.2d 487

ISNER
v.
UNITED STATES.

No. 2349.

Circuit Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.

October 20, 1925.

In Error to the District Court of the United States for the Northern District of West Virginia, at Elkins; William E. Baker, Judge.

Creed Isner was convicted of manufacturing intoxicating liquor, and he brings error. Reversed.

A. M. Cunningham, of Elkins, W. Va., for plaintiff in error.

T. A. Brown, U. S. Atty., of Parkersburg, W. Va. (Russell L. Furbee, Asst. U. S. Atty., of Parkersburg, W. Va., on the brief), for the United States.

Before WADDILL and ROSE, Circuit Judges, and WEBB, District Judge.

WEBB, District Judge.

The defendant, Creed Isner, was indicted and convicted for unlawfully possessing "intoxicating liquor, to wit, 70 gallons of grape wine."

The main facts on the trial below showed that the defendant had a quantity of wild cherries and elderberries, and made an effort to get from the state authorities a permit to make wine of them. The berries were grown on his own farm. He put them into a barrel and strained out the berries, having added about two gallons of water to one gallon of juice. Having failed to secure a permit, he placed the barrel containing the juice and water in an outside cellar, where state police officers found it. The contents of the barrels were not destroyed by the officers, but pint samples were taken from said barrels. There is much disputed testimony as to whether or not this concoction was fit for beverage purposes; a number of witnesses saying it was so bitter that it could not be drunk, and others saying that it tasted like wine. The pint samples were analyzed, but the record does not show the alcoholic content.

The defendant offered to show that the liquid was not intoxicating, but objection to this evidence was sustained by the trial court. There is no evidence that this concoction was made for the purpose of being sold, but for home consumption, if it was ever fit to be used for such.

In his brief, T. A. Brown, Esq., United States attorney, says:

"In order that the question may be settled squarely on the construction of the last clause of section 29 (of the Volstead Act), the government concedes here and now that the said wine was not, as a matter of fact, intoxicating."

The government insists that the defendant is guilty, because the jury found from the opinion of the police officers that the concoction contained as much as one-half of 1 per cent. alcohol, and contended that... Sorry I have to look up the rest elsewhere. This is all I could get for free.
