From "Book of Oregon Pioneers" c. 1904:
"Isaac N. Sargent, a retired farmer and merchant, living in a beautiful one story cottage on Liberty Street, is one of the venerable pioneers of the northwest and stands today high in the admiration and esteem of every person who knows him. He was born in 1817, on Sept. 25, at Chester, Vermont. His father, Isaac Sargent, was also a native of Vermont, and married Miss Sallie Pratt, who came from a prominent colonial family and was a native of Vermont. She died in Wisconsin about ten years after her husband who passed away in Vermont, on June 12, 1834 at the old homestead. William Sargent sailed from Northampton, England with his family to Charlestown, MA, in 1638 and since then, the Sargent family has been prominent in business, at the bench and bar, and in professional life. They are well known throughout New England and elsewhere and are amongst the oldest families in the United States. ...
Isaac N. Sargent was educated in the private schools of his native place and 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 Wisconsin and there taught school and did farming until 1862, when he came to Oregon with horse teams. Being pleased with The Dalles and the outlook of this country, he settled here, and in the Dalles and eastern Oregonm has been ever since. After farming for some time in this vicinity, he moved to Grant---------and engaged in the merchantile business for eight years, then sold out and moved to The Dalles, since which time he has been largely retired, living upon the income his industry and wisdom provided. In addition to the home place, he owns other residence property 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. Brown who was b. in Springfield, VT on August 19, 1817, the daughter of George and Anna (Bemis) Brown, natives of VT. Both are old colonial families and are well known in New England circles. Mr. Sargent has no living brother or sisters, but his wife has one sister, Martha, widow of William Honey in Omaha, Nebraska. Five children have been b. to Mr and Mrs Sargent; Frederick A., a farmer on Five Mile creek near The Dalles; Chester C., a farmer in the vacinity of The Dalles; Frank, a mining man at Baker City; Fanny, wife of Frank Hunsaker, now deceased; and Hattie, the wife of Edward Wilson, of Portland. They also have raised on adopted daughter, Katherine, who was their grand daughter.
Mrs Sargent is a member of the Methodist Church. Mr Sargent is a stanch Republican, and held these principles long before the Republican party was organized. Mr & Mrs Sargent have traveled together in their wedded life for 66 years, a most remarkable and pleasant fact. Although both are nearly four score and ten years, still they are active and hearty, with all their facilities unimpaired and are excellent citizens of The Dalles....
Since the above was written, the reaper, death, visited Mr Sargent's home and took his beloved and faithful wife. Like the ripened grain, she was ready for the sickle, and having completed life's duties well, she has stepped forward to the rewards awaiting the faithful. The day of departure was December 8, 1904."
From "History Central Oregon" modernized by Judge Fred W Wilson and Ray Perarcy:
"Isaac N. Sargent, old homesteader, freighter and store operator was born in 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; then in 1838 he taught school in Wisconsin and came to The Dalles by covered wagon in 1862 where he farmed in 5 Mile and freighted to the mines at Canyon City. Soon as the military authorities made it safe from Indian molestation Mr. Sargent homesteaded in Grant County and operated a store in Mitchell, one of the toughest western towns in Oregon, for 8 years. In 1838 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, afterwards went to Portland.
2. Chester C. Sargent was best remembered as owner of the old IXL Restaurant 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 cent meals. In 1953 most restaurants post a sign, "no service less than 25 cents 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.
5. Hattie (Mrs Ed Wilson) went to Portland where Chester went after he left The Dalles."
