Samuel was born in 1860 in Ohio. He married Ella Susan Kunkelman and in 1900 they were living in Hempfield Township in Pennsylvania. They had 6 children.[1] Half of the children had moved out by 1910 and Samuel was working as a traveling lecturer.[2]
When his daughter Helen applied for a marriage license in 1928, she stated that her father was living in Washington D.C. and was a college professor.[3]
He passed away in 1941.[4] He was mentioned in the obituary of his wife in October, 1951. [5]
Research Notes
I really think this is him. The age is off by five years, but several of the children's ages are way off. I think the census taker got confused about which age when with which initials. Why it's only initials, I have no idea.[6]
