Bibliography

Having the bibliography cut from my book to save space was perhaps the hardest sacrifice, so I'm especially glad to present it here. Following are most, though not all, of the articles, correspondence, documents, and interviews used for the book. The numerous closures and sales of Isaly's branches left only a faint trail of documentary evidence. Over a period of nine years, I was able to assemble a wide cross-section, but much of it is in archives or private collections, and therefore not in my possession. If you're publishing further research and you've used information from here, please credit this site or my book, Klondikes, Chipped Ham, & Skyscraper Cones: The Story of Isaly's by Brian Butko.

The materials are broken into eight sections:
1 Company and family materials
2 Author correspondence received

According to Isaly Family Reunion 1995: descendants of William Eugene Isaly and Louisa Katherine Luedy Isaly, prepared by Samuel D. Isaly, of the eight grandparents of William and Katherine Luedy Isaly, six were probably born in Canton Berne (the other two in nearby Alsace). Carl Marty, referred to in a caption, was married to Verena Isely, born Dec. 25, 1861, but she is descended from what is called the Wisconsin branch of the Iseli family (for more, see the Iseli worldwide family website). Her sisters were Rosina Isaly Rufer and Magdalena Isaly Ritschard, all of whom lived in Monroe, Wisc., as of a Jan. 1965 program celebrating Verena's 103rd birthday the month before. In 1962, they held a family reunion in Wisconsin for descendants of Christian and Verena Beunker Isely: "Of the 14 children of the early pioneers, four are living with William Isely, 82, the youngest. Mrs. Carl Marty Sr., Monroe, is the oldest [100]," as per, "Isely Farm Setting for Family Reunion Program Next Sunday," n.s. [assumed Wisconsin], July 12, 1962. Carl Marty was also a cheese industry pioneer, and according to "Cheese Industry Art," Milk Products Journal, Jan. 1962, after retirement, he painted 600 cheese making scenes in oils, some distributed by The Swiss Colony, Monroe, Wis.

William Isaly, states that Mohler's father Jay was manager of the farm from 1933 to his death in 1942, when Mohler's uncle John Burkhart was named manager. Mohler's envlope indeed has the farm logo and his father listed as superintendent. An attempt to contact Mohler was unsuccessful.

Extensive research was done by Linda Isaly Coughlin and Ellen Stoll Isaly on Swiss genealogy, and their 1985 Report on the Swiss Family Iseli, detailing their trip to Walkringen, where Christian lived, was very helpful. They also believe Verena's last name should be Zwygart, and not Fream as reporrted on the 1983 family tree. Rev. and Mrs. Bricker also provided a baptismal record they unearthed on a visit to Switzerland.

(It's believed that Verena's name was mistakenly misspelled Verona in a translation of the original document.) William and Louisa had a fifth son, George, who died before the dairy companies were formed.
