Isaac Walton, the head of this firm - not "Issak" of piscatorial fame, stealthily hooking his victims and filling his wallet with their writhing forms - this is Isaac P. Walton, who for nearly forty years has dealt in gold and silver, yet is no money shark. Of the men who were in business as merchants in 1859, he alone is still active, and of him it may be said, "his eye is not dim," as it looks for the flaw in the works of the watch, and "his natural force is not abated." To his prescient mind Tyrone is indebted for a large share of its present prosperity, notably for the Electric Light Plant, of which he was the projector and principal promoter. He has been honored by his fellow citizens with offices of trust, burgess for three years, and now vice-president of the First National Bank.
