Isham family, including, left to right: Isham's son-in-law, Isham, his daughter and Indian medicine man or "physician" Gosh-gi-bosh. Isham is said to have been captured by the Sioux as an infant and continued to live with them. He eventually married a reservation squaw, and a number of his descendants live on the reservation. Gosh-gi-bosh translated means "barber," and his descendants use the name Barber. He is reputed to have ministered as required to the local lumbermen afflicted with venereal diseases, among other medical services.
