Uncle Isaac Perry Decker

Great-Great-Great-Uncle Isaac Perry Decker, son and namesake of our great-great-great-grandfather Isaac Decker, appears here just short of his seventh birthday, the senior child of the pioneer company. His stepbrother Lorenzo Sobieski Young, age 6, also appears in the group. Son and stepson, respectively, of Great-Great-Great-Grandmother Harriet Page Wheeler Decker Young, the two boys (like Perry’s older sister Clarissa and “Ellen Sanders” Kimball) became part of the company because Harriet insisted on coming along.

Here’s what the monument in Pioneer Park has to say about young Perry. Here’s a photo of Perry in middle age. Here’s the writeup I gave him in my recent (2008) Book of Uncles. And here’s the obituary that the Deseret News printed when he died in 1916, aged 75.
