Isaac lived for 30 years and worked as a tin miner. He and Caroline had three children and two of these died at a very young age. In 1906 Isaac travelled to stay with his brother John in Globe City, Arizona but could not have stayed too long as he had his son of the same name in Isaac Perrow Hicks born in 1908. It is noted that Isaac, his mother-in-law Jemima and his son Isaac all died in the same year of 1909. Isaac died from septicemia and pericarditis. His death occurred in Cape Cornwall Street in St Just. This was likely in the home of his father-in-law Thomas Chappell. The death certificate records that his father Thomas Hicks was present at the time of Isaac’s death.
