The following is from a 1909 biography of Ira:

He remained at home until about twenty years of age, when he commenced to farm on his own account, continuing for a quarter of a century. He then sold his place and moved to Sullivan in 1898. Here he purchased a grist mill which belonged to J. T. Reid, which he has since been successfully operating as a custom mill, also buying and selling grain. In his political choice he favors the platforms of the Republican party. He has prudently become a member of the Modern Woodmen of American, which provides him with a safe life insurance, as well as giving him other fraternal benefits throughout his life. Mr. Nesbit and family are exemplary members of the Christian Church.
