October 31, 1868, he bought from his mother for $2000.00, 119 acres located on the east side of the NE 4th of Section 12, township 12, South range 2 west of her farm. His land joined that of his brother Benjamin F. Hartline on the east. The 1870 census showed his real estate valued at $3200.00. Isaac was a farmer.

Isaac married again on October 23, 1901, to 29 year old Frederika (Rika) Nording, a daughter of Christian and Frederika Hess Nording. (Frederika was a daughter of John Hess, Jr. from North Carolina.) In later years, Isaac and Rika moved to Anna, Illinois, where he died. The stone over his first wife's grave at Casper cemetery has his name engraved on it, but no date of death is given. This would indicate that he was probably not buried there.
