Isaiah Brewer was one of the strongest backbones of the Brewer family. After his father passed away, he stepped right in to help his mother raise the younger children. He was instrumental in the Wesley Chapel Church's building in 1908. Inspired by Emiline, his mother who asked him to donate some of the Brewer land for the church, Isaiah provided lumber and helped the other men in the church's building. Wesley Chapel was built at Hornsboro Road, Route 1. The church is named for John Wesley, the founder of the Methodist Church.

Isaiah was married Lizzie Robinson Brewer. He was the father of nine children and a beloved Brewer family member.
