Isaac Percival (b. Amherst, MA, August 9th, 1826) moved to Worthington in 1851 where he worked for John and Jonathan Eugene Sanderson, 'who were running a mill where Mr. Bradley now has his shop' and then in Ringville for E. C. Ring. On July 20th, 1863, he enlisted in Co. F, 32nd Regiment and was the only man drafted from Worthington who would go to the front. It was said that someone 'of this section that being able to go as a substitute, he took the $300 and after getting to the front would put his shoulder out of joint, and being sent home would take another name and go somewhere else and do the same thing over again.' ]]> The South Worthington Parish by Rev.
