==================================================
I. M. CUE
Among the farmers of Clinton county, Isaiah Marion Cue has been one of the
most prosperous and intelligent. It may be said that he was born to the
high calling of agricultural pursuits. His grandfather, William Cue, tilled
the soil in Ohio, and his father, Lewis Cue, farmed in Indiana. But the
subject of this sketch, Isaiah M. Cue, was not bounded in his ambition by
the horizon of the farm. He gave his attention to local politics, and in
time became one of the most astute politicians of Clinton county.
In recognition of his merit and special adaptability, Isaiah M. Cue was
honored by his fellow citizens in 1910 with election to the office of county
clerk. He polled the full strength of the Democratic party, and owing to
his peculiar fitness for the office was given quite generous support by the
members of other parties. This confidence time has proved was not
misplaced, as Mr. Cue is easily one of the most faithful and efficient
incumbents that the county clerk's office has ever had. He is thoroughly
modern and up-to-date in his methods, and from his term will date a new era
in despatching (sic) the county's business. He is one of the men identified
with the progress of his county.
Isaiah M. Cue was born November 11, 1855, near Michigantown, Indiana, the
son of Lewis and Sarah (Floyd) )Cue. He is of the old Buckeye stock, his
father having been born in Clinton county, Ohio, February 11, 1817, and his
grandfather hailing from the same state. This carries him back in direct
genealogy to the early days of the government, the most momentous in many
respects in all history. A notable incident in the family history is, that
William Cue, the grandfather, lived to be eighty years of age and was then
killed by the falling of a tree. When Lewis Cue, the father of Isaiah, was
fifteen years of age, his mother died, and in 1853 he moved from Ohio to
Clinton county, Iowa, and subsequently returned to Clinton county, Indiana,
where he became a land owner and prosperous farmer, his death occurring in
November, 1883. He married Sarah Floyd in Ohio, and five of eight children
were born to them there. The place of her birth was Clinton county, Ohio,
and that of her death Clinton county, Indiana. She was born June 15, 1818.
Isaiah M. Cue was given a common school education and put to work on his
father's farm. Thus he was given, in the judgment of economists and
philosophers, the best possible equipment for a satisfactory, and prosperous
career. And he has proved the soundness of such judgment. On November 20,
1883, he was married to Loretta E. King, who was born in Tipton county,
Indiana, April 30, 1861. Four children are the fruit of this union. Carl,
the eldest, is deputy clerk to his father; Oral is engaged at farm work,
while Merle and Edith attend school.
Mr. Cue is among the foremost Democratic politicians of Clinton county and
is a stanch member of the Methodist church. In both political and religious
circles he is by common consent a leader, and such is the character of his
leadership that it inspires the utmost confidence in those who follow it. He
is one of those representative men whose intellectual attainments and
benefactions immortalize them in county and state history. Pages 413 & 414.
